Hey there!
I’m a breast cancer survivor ( estrogen receptive) of 18 years. I also have severe atrophy . I Did chemo, radiation, 5 years of Tamoxifen snd 2 years of Famara.
I tried everything OTC, nothing worked for me. The Estradiol is the only med to give me relief. I’ve been using this cream for 15 years with no issues.
I use a 1/2 gram once every two weeks.
Every 6 months I go for labs to check that the level of estrogen in my body is well below my doctor’s expectation.
All the best🙏🏻

Thank you for that info! That does make me feel better. Did you start off with more at first? My gyno wants me to start with once a day for a week. Then go down to once a week. You saying once every two weeks sounds good.
