dberg,

I would be happy to have a "normal, American, roll-over-and-make-love life," to begin with! I am ER+ (80%) and PR+ (50%) and I am comfortable using topical estrogen cream (very, very, sparingly, mind you!) for this problem. Here is a link to an abstract that was presented at the SABCS in Dec. '07 that states that this therapy may be fine for some patients taking AI's:

You can always ask your doctor to give you prescriptions for blood draws to monitor you ER levels - that's what mine did.

Best of luck,

Hopeful
