Reply To: When Is It to Late to Start HRT

[Andrea Smith]

I have read that age is not a limit to transition. General health is a likely factor.

For me — I am dealing with renal cancer that is metastatic. I have one kidney. There is a newly discovered mass on the other kidney. My thyroid has been removed. Thats all bad enough — but at this moment I am otherwise OK.

I fear that hormones are not an option — which still remains secondary to getting the treatment I need to deal with the cancer — but once I go back to remission (hopefully) I want to transition. Not sure what my options are. I realize I would need to speak with doctors about this.
