Seems like if you estrogen is extremely low, perhaps you should stop taking it? But, consult you OB?GYN doctor, he/she will be able to give you a level of hormones that would be right for you. Mine is 95% and I just started Exemestane. I am no doctor but you will be producing estrogen all your life. So, it shouldn't be non existent. NOT LETROZOKE lots oa side effects. You have to ask yourself
How long have I been on this?
What do I feel like what is their overall plan?
Where are you in the recovery?
blood work? Testing of other stuff, heart, bones,etc.
Conversations about how you feel?
Ask, how bad is my prognosis now?
What is my chances of survival now?

@angele2times presurgery...they want to hold nodules or shrink before surgery. I won't agree to it afterward. Postponing surgery is a life choice for me. Summer plans

@angele2times Estrogen is continued to be produced in females after menopause by the fat in their body. That is one reason they talk about taking off excess weight. I found that impossible as Arimidex caused me to gain twenty-five pounds over the five years on was on it and NOTHING I did would make a single pound leave. NOTHING! I had never been overweight in my life until I had to take Arimidex. I recently read that selenium degrades estrogen, and I am taking it now.
