If you are ER+, have you been prescribed an aromatase inhibitor or tamoxifen? These will actually do the opposite of HRT, and will reduce levels of estradiol in the body below detectable levels. As an ER+ breast cancer survivor (so far) with a high ER score, I can say I would be very very cautious and avoid anything that will feed your cancer (or an errant cells). It's hard I know! Have you talked with your doctor?

I have not yet met with an oncologist. I have an appointment next week. I definitely will ask them about this.
I am low ER+ 15% I have read that these hormone treatments are not always helpful with low ER status. I'm bringing the article with me to DR.
