If you had radiation, when did you start hormone therapy?

No. How can something your body makes cause cancer? Just because estrogen can cause growth doesn't mean it was the cause. If it was cancer would be more prevalent in young people.

Sounds reasonable but researchers suspect the use of HRT increases the risk of certain cancers. https://www.komen.org/breast-cancer/risk-factor/postmenopausal-hormone-use/
Nobody knows for sure what causes cancer in women. We just follow their recommendations. When it comes to my health, I’d rather err on the side of caution.
