"I was given FemHrt by a doctor I trusted and have no animosity against her, however, after being on the drug for a year to help with postmenopausal symptoms, I got the news after a mammogram that I had DCIS breast cancer. My doctor let me know and also said that three other women whom she was treating with this drug during the same timeframe had also developed the same cancer. Mine was only stage one, but I was fortunate that they found it. I was treated with surgery and radiation, and while in surgery, my surgeon found another invasive cancer, for which I had to go back a week later to have surgically removed again! I had to have a lumpectomy as a result of it. I feel this drug is unsafe as three other patients in the same practice at the same timeframe were also diagnosed with the same cancer. It has been 12 years since I was diagnosed. My oncologist said I was cured. I am skeptical and continue to get checked out yearly from my oncology clinic just to cover my bases."

"Femhrt worked wonderfully. Had to wait a couple of months for the full effect, so give it time. The only downfall is that it is expensive and does not have a generic."

"This medication completely changed my life for the better. Also, having a thyroid autoimmune disease, menopause was worse for me, a bad endocrine 'cocktail' as it were, and I was for almost a year brought to my knees with 20 or more knee-buckling hot flash episodes a day that caused so much joint and limb pain I couldn't walk, severe depression, was nearly bedridden from lack of energy and episodes that were almost anxiety attacks (never had them before). Within 3 weeks of taking FemHrt, it nearly all ceased. I got my life back."
