Estradiol for vaginal atrophy after breast cancer. Is it safe?

My OB prescribed it for me and my oncologist was fine with it. I was 100% estrogen positive so I’m a little nervous using it but I’m miserable so going to give it a try.

Will they let you take that? I was on it and they told me that I had to stop taking it. Orally or cream.
Following is from the web and I think this is on the package too. Warning:
"You should not use estradiol if you have: undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, liver disease, a bleeding disorder, or if you have ever had a heart attack, a stroke, a blood clot, or cancer of the breast, uterus/cervix, or vagina."
