Can anyone guide me? That is a huge, unanswered question. It appears that there is No consensus for women’s heath care. There was a study last year that said vaginal estrogen adds NO risk for reoccurrence of breast cancer. I have jumped on that as I think I have tried everything out there for vaginal dryness. It is helping. We can share what we think we know and be our own best advocate. ♥️

I think this question is best answered by your doctor. I think the risk is going to be individual. I have read studies that say the risk is very low to zero. I have also read articles that mention specific cases where a doctor would not recommend it for specific cases. If memory serves it was a risk for other related cancers. Only you can decide what is right for you, but the only good decision is an informed decision. Remember every treatment is a cost vs. benefit (to you) decision.
If it helping there is obviously a benefit💕 and if the risk is super low………….awesome.
May I ask if you were premenopausal prior to treatment?asking for a friend. 😂😂.

Hi
I also am doing that, but it does nothing for your menopause.Symptoms depression anxiety crying sadness fatigue. Seeing my natural pathic Doctor Monday.Hopefully , she can give me something to help

This is very interesting. I was on yuvafem before I was diagnosed with dcis. While on it, it did help with dryness but I had some nausea at times and horrible migraine headaches throughout treatment . I was one it for over a year. When u got diagnosed with dcis, I cut back to one a week a week. Then just decided to stop after I had my lumpectomy. When I brought this up to my radiation doctor. He did tell me that was a smart idea to stop the yuvafem because a tiny bit does get absorbed into the bloodstream. Once I heard that, I knew I would never use that crap again. That’s just me though. I don’t do well with hrt. Most women do fine. But at least I know now, it was affecting me and was causing side effects! Good luck ! :).
