Menopause
My gynae has just prescribed me Angeliq and with the history of breast cancer in my family, is it wise that I take it?
GynaeDoc
It i9s a mquestion of risks and benefits. There is a slightly higher risk of breast cancer with HRT but it does relieve sympotms and protects against osteoporosis and colon cancer.
