"Will hormone therapy give me breast cancer?"
It's one of the most common questions women in midlife ask, and one of the most confusing. Between alarming headlines, outdated studies, and advice that changes depending on who you ask, it's no wonder so many women feel stuck between relief from their symptoms and fear of what that relief might cost.
This October, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Ashley Caravelli, DO, MSCP, joins the Perimenopause Posse to clear up the confusion. In a relaxed, myth-busting conversation (not a medical lecture), Dr. Caravelli will walk through:
What the research actually says about hormone therapy and breast cancer risk
Why the type of hormone therapy matters, and how risk differs between options
Other cancers women often worry about, and what we know about each
How your personal and family history fit into the decision
Whether you're considering hormone therapy, already using it, or just trying to make sense of what you've read online, you'll leave with clearer information, better questions for your own doctor, and a lot less fear. Bring your questions. No question is too basic.
Date: Monday, October 19
Time: 6:30 PM
Place: House of 423 in Geneva, IL
About the Speaker:
Dr. Ashley Caravelli is a board-certified Family Medicine physician and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) with more than a decade of clinical experience. After years of treating patients, she saw a real gap in how traditional medicine cares for midlife women, so she founded Axis Precision Health to fill it. The practice offers menopause and perimenopause care via telehealth across Illinois. Her philosophy is simple: midlife should be your strongest chapter.
This session is for educational purposes and isn't a substitute for personalized medical advice.
