i saw on the news this morning about hrt making u more at risk of developing ovarian cancer. this puts the fear into most women that are at that stage in their lives. what do u ladies think? should u risk it ?(statisics say that no hrt u have 2.2% chance of developing it and on hrt u have 2.6% chance) or put up with the awful sweats and hot flushes? this is prob a strange post but i have been discussing it with colleuges at work as many of them are at that stage in their lives. i am just interested in your opinion on the subject

I've already had to go onto epilepsy meds so would be anxious to keep the chemical levels down as much as possible.
