...While the fact that HT's risks may last longer than any woman would like, doctors stress that this risk is still very small. The overall risk of cancer, for instance, among women taking estrogen and progestin, comes to three extra cases per 1000 women per year. For breast cancer, the study found one extra case per 1000 women per year. "It's helpful to translate the findings into absolute cases," notes Dr. JoAnn Manson, chief of preventive medicine at Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital.

...Harvard is seen as the pinnacle of academic strength and achievement, membership in this selective community is a double-edged sword. The same qualities that brought us here—excellence, competitiveness, and ambition, to name a few, become liabilities when they burden us with high levels of stress, which 62 percent of Harvard students reportedly experience. Accustomed to success, we place unjustifiably high expectations on ourselves. Many of us have been told that at Harvard, no one will “hold your hand” and we have consented to this idea.
