I just could not take the continuous UTI’s. As soon as I completed the medication for my UTI’s, within 2 days another one would start and my oncologist would not listen to me but instead laughed.
If my breast cancer returns then it returns. I don’t appreciate being laughed at when I have a honest question but not taken seriously.

Did anybody try cranberry juice (not the cocktail) for uti? I heard that it helps flush out bacteria but doesn't prevent uti.

I’ve done it and I don’t like cranberry juice but I tried it.

Wow! I hate to say unkind things about your Doctor but showing some major ignorance on the subject of female health. In 2023 there was a study stating that vaginal estrogen does not absorb systemically so there is no additional risk for breast ca. Both my Oncologist and gynecologist agreed that I can use estradiol without raising my risk for reoccurrence. It is KNOWN to help with vaginal dryness and urinary incontinence and lowering the risk for UTIs. Best of luck to you getting the help you need and deserve.

The propolis in VMagic is interesting. I hope more research is done on it because it could be a great ingredient. WebMD says some people find it irritating, so not sure if I’d buy a tube with it in it. But great properties otherwise. The rest of VMagic is oils (which I’ve tried and not helpful) and beeswax. I have a EltaMD moisturizer that has beeswax and petrolatum in it, and it melts to runny when applied on warm skin.
Right now I don’t need anything because tamoxifen is acting as an agonist in my vaginal area and it is like it was premenopause. I’m 19 years post menopause- the likely reason tamoxifen acts this way in my body. I’ve just lowered my tamoxifen dose and fear that I’ll lose this benefit.

I’m definitely not happy with his bedside manner.
Hopefully after my 5 years are up this August I’ll be done with him.
