I had breast cancer five years ago and I had to take Tamoxifen. Now I got the diagnosi PD. There is a study about PD and Tamoxiifen showed that the risk to get PD is higher. I think ther is a link between PD and hormens. Greetings from Germany. I follow your podcast. Thank you for doing this. ❤

I had a total hysterectomy when I was in my early 30’s. I am 69 now. I took estrogen following my surgery but did not take progesterone. My doctor told me it was the combination of the two that could cause cancer and taking just the estrogen was the way to go. I was diagnosed with PD in November 2021.
