non-estrogenic moisturizers?
 
So..has anyone looked into this issue that was posted in meeting highlights?
Since my mom went on Xeloda she has been slathering on moisturizer to fend of the Xeloda skin on her face. She is ER+.
I know the article really doesn't get specific on how much estrogen levels are raised and/or amount of possible effect but...
I must say...this cancer world is chock full of disturbing revelations...including the news on Taxol actually increasing dissemination of cancer in some instances.
But I digress...sort of.

Rich,

I have been using Kiss My Face brand of moisturizers - there are a few different varities. Make sure they say "Paraben free" on the bottle - most lavendar based cremes contain paraben, which is estrogenic from what I understand. I have used the Peach and the Vitamen A & E in the Kiss My Face line.
Another brand is "Yes to Carrots" - they are Paraben free.

all the best
caya
