I had a complete hysterectomy in 1990 & was put on Premarin. About 7 yrs ago my Dr lowered the dosage to 0.3. Two months ago they found out I had type a hypo displasia which is pre cancer cells of the breast & a very tiny 3.mm nodule. No history of breast cancer in family but I got so scared after surgeon told me it probably came from the estrogen. I weaned myself off by taking one every other day the first month then every two days the second & now I am totally off. I cannot sleep, hot sweats & overall feel lousy but will not go back due to the surgery on the breast which was just awful. A hard core biopsy & then a wide lobe lumpectomy which resulted in general anestetics & several stitches in the one breast. Now they have to monitor me every 6 months so assure I am not generating any more pre cancer cells. Thank goodness this was caught so early I acted so fast.
