Tiffany could have ended up with much worse disabilities than hot flushes. While I don't doubt that they are unpleasant, I wouldn't be taking the risk of more cancer by taking hormones. If I had been through what she has, I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole, especially when she has so many people warning her about it with first hand experience. I doubt that she has properly digested any academic articles about the topic or else she would have at least said "I've done my research". T doesn't seem academic at all and I have never heard her say anything intellectual. She attracts subscribers of a similar bandwidth (or lower, like Fluffy). Anyone with any medical knowledge at all would know that she is taking a huge risk, but she doesn't seem to care. She is all about feeling comfortable at all times. Whilst I sympathise that doing an eye exam whilst having a hot flush is very inconvenient, there are ways to cope whilst still remaining professional. (Correct me if I'm wrong?) Imagine if she had developed an incurable chronic condition from her cancer treatment like dysautonomia or ME which are all too common after chemo and major surgery. She is really lucky that her body has come out as well as it has. Getting the HRT from the GP is very telling as well. Has she specified that her oncologist is okay with it? I don't think a GP would prescribe something without a specialist's input, but it does seem a bit fishy to me.
