Becky,

I agree with you - this does not seem to be a very well designed study. Also, the amounts of these preparations the participants used, plus the frequency of use, are not at all what bc patients are advised to do, so the applicability to our demographic is not a one-to-one correspondence.

My surgeon and gyn are very supportive of my use of Estrace under their supervision and as they direct, which is very similar to your usage. My rads onc would prefer I use e-string, but is not against local estrogen therapy in general.

Some parts of the body require some estrogen to function, and they are parts I, for one, want in good working order!
