Question
What is your opinion of me using continuous HRT for life. I am 63 and have been using it for 6 years and feel great on it. I have yearly mammograms and Pap smears.

Regards

Answer
Hi Morph,
There are two schools of thought about HRT, one supports its use and another is against it. I for one am among the supporters of HRT. So long as you do not have other risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, history of smoking, then HRT is fine, but if you have these risk factors I would not advice it.
