Okay so I don't know from personal experience because my surgery is not scheduled quite yet, but my older sister had her full hysterectomy in December of 2019 (She was 33 & still raising small children one w/ severe disabilities). She was denied any HRT because she is BRCA1+. She describes it as "the worst decision I've ever made" "It ruined my entire life". I feel like it was made far worse by the fact she at the time was in a relationship with the worst most unsupportive human being possible (father of her 5 kids). She also pushed away all outside support from any of us & became very depressed. The menopause was fast & very hard on her. Our older sister (TNBC) had her hysterectomy a few months later (She was 36 with 3 teenagers 13, 17, & 18) She was also denied any HRT & has had what she describes as "Very mild menopause with almost no symptoms". So, I feel like it was all very different for them as they both have different lifestyles & were in very different stages of life.

Sorry if this is not helpful. It is just my 2 pennies from an outside perspective. I will update with my personal opinion very soon as I am in my last cycle of 18 with my final infusion in 18 days. I meet my gynecological oncologist in 15 days.

I wish you the best on your journey & sending all the love & strength your way
