I just recently had bilateral mastectomy with DIEP flap reconstruction. I had DCIS in both and had to stop HRT at time of diagnosis. I went on HRT 6 years ago due to severe and frequent hot flashes. The hot flashes have returned with a vengeance. I am wondering if I will be able to resume HRT given that the breast tissue has been removed.
