That is a good question. Why don't oncologists test for estrogen and estradiol levels? I have not been seen by one oncologist who tests these levels. When I suggest it, they all refuse.

@thora902 - Excellent question. I wasn’t checked before, during or after for estrogen levels. I took Anastrozole for 2 1/2 yrs. My oncologist said, when asked how he knew the med was working, as they had no baseline of my levels, he said “We take it for granted”. I was So Done with that oncologist! Good luck
