You are so very welcome, my dear. And I'm sorry you're in this situation. But please don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU. I do them all online.

This is how you change things for the next generation. I love this! Ed's granddaughter is a menopause missionary!

So wonderful to hear about your persistence paying off!

Thank you for your comment. I hope you don’t mind me asking a question, since I don’t have experience with or much knowledge about this. Why do they do a full mastectomy on a stage 0 DCIS “finding” which is technically not even cancer yet, since it has not spread beyond its original location? That seems insanely excessive to me. Do they offer other, more localized procedures, like a lumpectomy? What determines the choice with a stage 0 DCIS? I hope you don’t mind answering - I’m just so curious about this.

@@cm1906it was so long ago, I was young but they did do several lumpectomies, the doctor just couldn’t get it right & i ended up doing so much radiation treatment 2 months everyday! They don’t do it that much anymore, so, it destroyed my skin and gave me fibrosis so I’m always in terrible pain, that being said the doctor still didn’t get all the cells even after 3 lumpectomies and once you radiate the area like that you can no longer do another lumpectomy so mastectomy was mandatory. It was all quite devastating since I was in my early thirties and then a reconstructive surgeon almost killed me by doing a risky surgery and I ended up in the hospital for 6 weeks with a systemic infection I’m so lucky I’m alive! So I’m certainly not willing to have a poor quality of life on top of all my losses. Treatment is so aggressive and I stopped the tamoxifen it was putting me in post menopause at 32! Keep smiling 😊 life is still a beautiful ride

@@susanvanputten492Thank you very much for answering and sharing your story. I’m so sorry to hear what you had to endure and happy for you that you’re doing well now. Best wishes! 🍀

All the decisions should be yours. But you deserve to have the whole truth and the whole story before deciding. That's what this education gives you.

That's the problem! The medical professionals who should be helping you are doing what's in their legal best interest INSTEAD of what's in your medical best interest ... all because of one distorted study 22 years ago that scared everybody So now, the entire system is governed by fear. I give the education directly to YOU because the system is not in place to help you. And if you don't advocate for yourself, you will not succeed. I ma making educational resources for all professionals in all industries. But, still, the current guidelines allow them to neglect you.

@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you for your reply, Dr Taylor. I wonder whether doctors’ fear of litigation can be addressed on a “systemic” level somehow? (I don’t know how it works, but I know that you have a law degree.) Could The Menopause Society and other relevant organizations create legal documents for medical professionals to “download” and have their patients sign? They must know that fear of litigation is a major issue!? It seems like SOMETHING has to be done on this front with more and more women getting educated now and asking for HRT.

This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box. It requires much more information than you can give me here, and you deserve much more information than I can give you here. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via online video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.

The goal is to manage your menopause your way ... knowingly. That means knowing all the benefits and all the risks as they apply too you personally.

I'm so glad this education is helping you. As for your question, this is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one.

Thank YOU! I want to empower you to advocate for yourself.

You are so very welcome, my dear. You're a star student.

Do not ever say "You should" to any other woman. Do not tell any woman to buy my book or watch my videos. Menopause is the most neglected topic on Earth, and everything people hear is governed by fear. And the most feared topic of all is Breast Cancer So, if you want to save lives, instead of saying "You should," do this: Just talk about how little YOU knew before getting this education. Go on and on about how much of a difference it has made FOR YOU. If you talk about YOURSELF instead of saying 'You should," you will save lives like crazy. I do consultations so that each consultation client gets the education tailored specifically to HER. I do them all online.

Most people have misconceptions about the meaning and significance of “estrogen receptor” and progesterone receptor” status of breast cancer. Think about it: Your breasts have always responded to estrogen and progesterone. • Your breasts grew at puberty when your ovaries started producing estrogen and progesterone. • Your breasts became tender at the time of “Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS): just before your periods. • Your breasts became tender in early pregnancy due to rising levels of estrogen and progesterone. In order for your breasts to respond to estrogen and progesterone, they have to have estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors on some of your breast cells. You can think of receptor sites as parking places. Estrogen receptor sites are “estrogen-only” parking places. Progesterone receptor sites are “progesterone-only” parking places. These are the sites where estrogen or progesterone “park” in order to perform their normal functions on your breasts. But only some of your breast cells bear these receptors. All breast cancers begin with just a single cell that becomes cancerous. That one single cell replicates rapidly to form the cancer. And all the cells that comprise the cancer will be identical to that one cell. If that one cells has estrogen receptor sites, then the cancer itself will have estrogen receptor sites. And that cancer will be “estrogen receptor positive.” If that one cells has progesterone receptor sites, then the cancer itself will have progesterone receptor sites. And that cancer will be “estrogen receptor positive.” But the designation of estrogen or progesterone receptor positive has nothing whatsoever to do with what caused the cancer. And this is where most people misconstrue the meaning of “estrogen receptor positive” or “progesterone receptor positive.” Instead of pertaining to cause, the designations of “estrogen receptor positive” or “progesterone receptor positive” pertain to treatment. Some cancers are treated by estrogen or progesterone. Others are not. By associating the designation of “estrogen receptor positive” or “progesterone receptor positive” with cause rather than treatment, everybody has things upside down. So now people think that “estrogen receptor positive” or “progesterone receptor positive” mean that estrogen and progesterone cause breast cancer. They don’t. They just help identify the most appropriate treatment.

@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you for your reply. Your quote "But the designation of estrogen or progesterone receptor positive has nothing whatsoever to do with what caused the cancer. And this is where most people misconstrue the meaning of “estrogen receptor positive” or “progesterone receptor positive.” It's common knowledge that introducing external hormones through HRT can stimulate the growth of these cancer cells, increasing the risk of cancer recurrence or progression. Therefore, if the designation of estrogen or progesterone receptor positive doesn't pertain to treatment, then why do doctors prescribe Tamoxfin & Aromatase inhibitors to REDUCE estrogen levels in the body and to prevent HR-positive breast cancer from spreading?! The fact is that medical peer reviewed studies have proven, that women who take such inhibitors, have a 50% less chance (10% risk reduced to 5% risk) of the BC returning. Of course, one can opt out of taking them, since the reduced risk is nominal, however, woundn't ttaking HRT only add fuel to the fire!? And if you disagree with the worldwide assessment of the above, then what you are saying, is that women are being systematically destroyed by the medical community. It can't be that doctors throughout the entire world have it all wrong! And do you have the same opinion with using HRT for other types of cancer, such as ovarian or colon cancer too?

@@ONEworld4PEACE All the decisions are yours, my dear. If you've watched all these breast cancer videos in order (55 in all), you know that there are many areas of consternation in the world of breast cancer that do not exist for other cancers.

@@MenopauseTaylor Unfortunately, you did not address my question about Tamoxofin & the reduced incidence of the BC returning when used. I don't have to watch all 55 videos to gather, that what you're saying is that the entire world of physicians has got it all wrong, which frankly is absurd.

@@ONEworld4PEACE I'm sorry I overlooked this, my dear. Tamoxifen reduces your risk of recurrent breast cancer 6%.

The fact is that these dosages were established decades ago, back when it was routine to give all women HRT at the time of menopause. Between the mid 1900s and 2002, (2002 being when the WHI study mis-reported its findings), there was not a vast array of options for estrogen replacement. Instead, most women took Premarin, which is “conjugated estrogen” in the list of estrogen products. For decades, it was established that a minimal dosage of 0.625 mg was necessary to prevent heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s. Many women took dosages much higher than that. The minimal necessary dosages of other estrogen options that have been produced since then have been designated by determining equivalent dosages to Premarin 0.625 mg. In the years before the WHI, all studies verified these minimal necessary dosages. They have never changed. What has changed is the fear of HRT. And that is the only reason anyone ever questions these minimal necessary dosages. Fear is the very reason that anyone even thinks about taking the “lowest dosage.”

@@MenopauseTaylor You are an amazing resource, Dr. Taylor!! Thank you kindly for your thorough response!

Did you have to know or prove that you had entered puberty? Did you have to get a diagnostic test to prove that you had finished the transition through puberty? No. Your bodily changes, your moods, your relationship stress, and your psychological state were all so obviously due to puberty that you didn’t need any labs to tell you what was happening. Your menopausal transitions are similar. Your goal is to make it all smooth so that your life does not reflect your rollercoastering & disappearing hormones. If you want my help with your personal situation, please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.

40% of women have dense breasts!

Remember, HRT cannot reverse diseases. It can only prevent them. If you never lost your estrogen you would not be at high risk for Alzheimer's. But once you have it, there is no treatment.

@@MenopauseTayloroh!! That makes sense total sense now that you’ve said that. After watching hundreds of your videos, I should’ve known that 😉 Thanks for clarifying 🥰
