Nearly half the women who stopped taking HRT after breast cancer scares have started again.

Many women are still confused about the various conflicting advice which surrounds HRT at the moment. A UK study showed an increased risk of breast cancer associated with HRT. Now a new study from the US has found that the oestrogen only formula does not carry a risk. 

Sheila speaks to Dr Peter Selby Consultant Physician and Hormone specialist at Manchester 's Royal Infirmary.
