I had always been very sensitive to hormones whether it was the pill (couldn't take) and conventional HRT gave me depression. Then I was given Livial - and it was great. after four years however I developed breast cancer and my GP immediately withdrew it - which fitted in to my instincts too.
I am OK now having had lumpectomy and radiation in dec 2006. So while I can empathise with those who are cockahoop on discovering - I was too - I wouldn't dream of going back on it. Unfortunately I am not on tamoxifen- which is supposed to be linked chemically with tibolone (livial) it brought on a massive debilitating depression. Something I must say Livial didn't do..... The only other hormone that didn't give me depression was oestrogen only HRT but that is too dangerous. I have no conclusions. My breast cancer was estrogen dependent.
