Hello I've a really important question on ppl who know stuff about hrt testosterone. I'm ftm and I need testosterone to have a normal life that's why I'm planning that's why I'm planning to start hrt. My mom told me sth abt that we have cancer family history when it comes to taking hormones but they didn't take testosterone. Just other hormones. Im worried that i can't take testosterone because of that because it's also taking hormones just not the same they took. I can't talk to a doctor now because I currently don't have access to testosterone anyway but since I can't anything abt it online so I've to ask here and mabey someone has experience. It's really scary to decide either for a happy short life or a long life with major depression since my dysphoria is too bad to live normal. I'd really appreciate some answers! Thank you for reading.

Hi Apple, 

It's definitely a challenging position that your in, with the lack of information available and the challenges of not being able to speak to a doctor. It might be worth it to reach out to hotline where they specialize in it as well. Additionally, talking to a listener as well, might be beneficially.
