Background = hysterectomy in 1995 had to go on HRT, no ovaries.
Diagnosed with invasive ductal carconoma .9cm. Biopsy showed spread to lymph nodes. Told to come off HRT. Decided to have full mastectomy as there were signs of cluster of smaller lumps. Has breast and lymph nodes removed 9 days ago. Cancer is triple negative and there was only one lymph node positive from the 12 tested. Have been told no need for radiotherapy and chemo regime to be discussed Monday. Having real trouble with Hot flushes and sore vagina. Is it wrong to think that going back on HRT would be OK?

Hi Wendya
This is definitely one for your oncologist when you see him/her on Monday.
While your cancer is not hormone sensitive, there may be other factors to consider.
Good luck.
