Hi there, sorry I have no good advice, but would just say, I too, am going through menopause and how tough is it eh? Decided against HRT - and used Black Cohosh for a while, but then 'they' decided that would or could cause liver damage, so decide to go it alone, thought that if i was healthy my body could get through like the olden days - and guess what? Yeah it did, it has been hard, but friends around me who have taken HRT have been no different to me, so it is up to the individual obviously...If your doctor prescribed the patches he/she knew your circumstances, as for your friend, mmmmm -make sure your doc. knew Mum had breast cancer, it is your body darling, you tell them what you want, not the other way round, why not give it a go, short term use (i believe) does not harm take care and keep in touch. xxxJean
