Estrogen cream recommended for prolapse, but ER+ Thoughts?

I was using estradiol cream prior to my diagnosis and breast surgeon told me to stop. Oncologist agreed with her. I have tried Replens, coconut oil and now Revaree and nothing has helped. A lady in my Bible study said there’s a non-hormonal medication for menopause(she works in healthcare) and she’s going to send the info to my oncologist. Crossing my fingers and praying like mad. I hope all turns out well for you. Cancer takes so much from us.🌹

Sounds promising. Please update me if it is helpful.
Thanks

Just goes to show the huge discrepancy in BC medical/surgical community. Both my surgeon(MGH) and my oncologist(DFCI) have said it was fine to use. I am in healthcare as well and worked with the physicians in the past. When you think about the small dose the estrogen cream is and the even smaller amount that may get absorbed systemically the risk of it becoming synergistic must be extremely low.
I use the estrogen cream for both vaginal dryness and stress incontinence and it works well for both.
