But I do worry about taking it also as there is a history of cancer in my family (not breast cancer). Many new benefits of estrogen regarding cardiovascular disease being added almost daily--direct effect on coronary vessels,actual reversal of existing plaque,etc.Seems a possible decrease in colorectal cancer,not to mention the rather vague findings of Alzheimers progression and development.Relation of ERT and breast ca still being heavily debated--no other ca risk. Would urge continuation of therapy--especially in lite of pre-existing hi b/p.
