I had been using Prempro for about 10 years for hot flashes when I was diagnosed at age 54. My PCP had me stop taking the Prempro immediately. I've always had a feeling this might have contributed to the breast cancer. I was highly estrogen positive. I really miss the way I used to feel on the Prempro....no aches and pains, no hot flashes. I'm taking Arimidex and ache all over. I've recently started taking low doses of Celebrex which has helped greatly.
At this point, I'd be leary of taking any type of estrogen. My onc said to avoid soy as this is nature's estrogen.
...........Sorry, I just realized you were talking to ER neg women in menopause....must be that I'm in "mental-pause".
