My nesting wife has the BRCA mutation and HRT raising her risk for certain cancers she was already more at risk for is something we worry about, but the sentiment is pretty much the same from her.
right? it's not even scary if you think about it logically. you're moving into ranges for the sex you're moving into. my risk for some things is increased. my risk for other things is decreased (but lol everybody always lies about that,) and there's still like... lifestyle factors, anyway?
like i take a little more estrogen that i'm meant to cos i don't block my t at all half of the time and it works out better for me to go overboard with it. new doctors are always like "oh but kidney strain" or shit like that. then they check my bloods and they're perfect. same as always.
because you know. it's never just going to be one thing causing those levels to rise and it's definitely not going to be the one thing that is non-negiotable that I'm going to cut so whhhhhyyyyy even bother me about it? just help me make the numbers work instead. or don't, because they're fine!
Yeah! It's something I had to point out to a bunch of people when I started HRT - of course my risk of breast cancer would go up, there's more tissue, it's kind of the goal, lol
Yeah! Like, death's comin either way and I only got so much life to deal with. If I was worried about transition killing me the state of the world in general would worry me more than the cancer
