@tres77
I saw my gyn provider Friday (at Mayo) and she was eager to talk about this subject.
Here is JAMA article about study:

She wrote a prescription and I will be starting. Also mentioned Mona Lisa treatment. I said will try Estrogen Therapy first. Mona Lisa is not covered my insurance.
Tress77, I scan the comments and can not tell if tried the Estradiol, if so did it help?

Hi
I was diagnosed with DCI s hormone Positive Her2 negative.Last december I had a lumpectomy and a sentinal node surgery. Stage 0. My oncologist put me on vagifem. I do it twice a week it has helped immensely. I was having chronic UTIs. I am 66 Good Luck
Yes I finally started it. I am using only a pea size amount every two weeks because I am so leery. Just that much has helped tho. After coming back and reading all the comments I will start once a week. I am hopeful. I’ll let you know after a month if every week if I see a big difference.

I wonder if there also good studies that use DFS, disease free survival, instead of mortality.
I’m really worried that estradiol will cause a recurrence. I may not lose my life to cancer, most of us wont’t. But I don’t like the idea of going through treatment again for a recurrence.
