I have had ER+ breast cancer and severe osteoporosis. I would not go near estrogen, bioidentical or not. My feeling is it could wake up or stimulate rogue cells, but ask your oncologist.

There are many other options for treatment of osteoporosis, as I am sure you know!

I had a lumpectomy and partial radiation. I am not going on hormone blockers because of the terrible side effects AND my radiologist said I was a low risk
There’s so much talk about how our bodies need estrogen and i want to go back on HRT even though I was er+, pr+, her2-
But I see mixed messages
If I go on biodentical i feel it would be my best best. The hot flashes. Night sweats and lack of sleep are making it hard to “live” again. All my doctors say the minimal estrogen I was on prior to the breast cancer have nothing to do with my diagnosis yet why is it so hard to get back on!!!????
