"Me too since my doctor took me off hormones."

More and more Docs are moving away from the practice of prescribing hormones to relieve menopause symptoms because of the risks of developing cancer.

Buddy of mine told me he had to go to the doc for a “testosterone shot in the butt”. I said that “testosterone” and “shot in the butt” being used in the same sentence sounded scary to me.

The older one gets the more disease prone they are. I have had cancer twice so I imagine with or without the hormones I am predeposed to it. Of course, no one in my family including great grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins, father or mother have ever had it. Not one person in my family both sides has ever had cancer.

Go figure.
