Low grade endometrial cancer, lynch syndrome, and HRT

Posted by angierivas1 @angierivas1, Jun 8, 2023

For those that have had surgical memopause, how do you manage your symptoms?
I have lynch syndrome and debating whether to use any products that have estrogen, or even ask for HRT
On my three months follow-up with my oncologist, he sent me to see a
GYN. He also said to go ahead and use HRT if I needed.
But I am afraid of cancer returning.
Is anyone in this support group that has been diagnosed with cancer and lynch syndrome using HRT?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Gynecologic Cancers Support Group.

My question about moisturizer is directed at Helen, Mentor.
Thank you ladies.

@paw. I use Hyalo Gyn suppositories. It also comes in a gel form. This vaginal moisturizer was recommended by radiation oncology to use after the radiation treatments were finished. I insert the suppositories with some additional gel (also containing hyaluronic acid) to make them easier to insert.

@leeosteo @paw used the initials VA. I think she is referring to vaginal atrophy. Is that correct, @paw?
