My month thearpy update!

Hello my fellow ladies, Just an update on what's been going on and as promised the update on the new hormone therapy. So I can't remember if I gave you all the name but it's Estradiol 1mg and things have been going well. I've even loss a few pounds for the other medication was a birth control named Microgestin 1.5/30 and it made me gain weight, retain water, develop a goiter, and made my hair shed, and I was still having hot flashes and night sweats really badly. Being on the Estradiol 1mg has stopped my night sweats completely and I have very few hot flashes: maybe two a day and I don't breakout in a cold sweat I simply become warm and a few strokes of my fan and it's over. I've lost a few lbs as I stated above and my sleep pattern is "normal" whatever that really means, I have an appointment to see if the goiter has lessen in size. However, my new specialist(She's a GYN, Oncologists) who treats Endometriosis, Ovarian and Cervical cancer, she also specializes in Menopause; told me that I can't only be on estrogen because the cells will grow and find a new playground which as you know from my previous blogs it can spread to the lungs, abdomen, and brain; therefore, I have to eventually introduce progesterone into the therapy but at a low dose. I'll be posting another update in few weeks. If you have any questions please don't hesitate and on an exciting note the Novel is approaching soon. Remember we're not in this fight alone. As always Peace and Blessings!
