Hi there. No, he does not think it contributes to cancer in my case. I think I have told you before that I have been on estrogen bioidentical since I was 46 years old. I am now 68 years old. My first doctor in New York City started to give me the estrogen cream, and I have taken it since her name is Erika Schwartz. She has written many books if you want to Google her name. I then started to go closer to home to Dr Bazzan. You could also google his name and read his website, which talks extensively about HRT. Everything depends on your blood work and your family history, of course.
Read about bioidentical hormone therapy. Google these two doctors and read what they have to say. I have no breast cancer history in my family, so there wasn’t a concern when I was 46. From what I understand, we only don’t have estrogen now because of menopause; lack of estrogen leads to osteoporosis. I am tested every year to make sure that I am clear. It’s scary because mainstream doctors know what they know and don’t see outside the box, from my experience. My endocrinologist does not even have time to hear about my hormone replacement therapy. She thinks I should be on every kind of osteoporosis medicine. I respectfully told her I would rather stay with the HRT. My numbers have improved so much. I am even in osteopenia in some areas. Twenty years ago, when I was diagnosed with osteopenia, they wanted to put me on prolia. I refused, and I thank God I did when I heard about the side effects of these medicines. They work wonders for some people, and it is an individual choice. So many times on this forum, I read about the horrendous side effects women experience, and it validates my concerns. I hope this helps you again; I am not an expert. I can only tell you what I found in my experience as a doctor's daughter. I was taught always to question and to look beyond the box. My dad has long passed, but he was an exceptional physician. We all have to remember that doctors are human. They are not perfect. I hope this helps you a bit. God bless. I want to add that I do weightlifting daily and Pilates three times a week. I also take supplements.
