Following the announcement from the FDA to remove black box warning on hormone therapy, I spoke on CBS News about how the warning came about and what this decision means for women. This therapy prevents Alzheimer’s. It lowers cancer risk. It protects your bones and your heart. And it helps women stay healthy, longer.
The original 2002 study was flawed. Millions of women have suffered because of it. Now the truth is catching up but only if we keep pushing. Talk to your doctor. Advocate for yourself.
As a society, we need to train doctors better and share the right information. This is a huge breakthrough, 23 years in the making.
