Lymphoma survivor - chemo immunotherapy

Age 46

I was told I was in “ovarian failure” a year after treatment. 1.5 years after treatment I started to experience heavy bleeding due to thinning of the uterine lining and I was put on a low dose birth control. After a year of BC, I started to gain some weight. Now I am about 25-30 lbs heavier than I was when I first started the BC pill. I’m an active person and I do not overeat. I’m looking into other options that will help with weight loss. Has anyone had success with HRT vs BC?

If I “quit” BC I will start to bleed heavily again so I can’t just stop.

Thanks for your input

I’ve also posted in cancer subreddits and it was suggested to post here.
