Estriol cream - ER negative, Postmenopausal
I just wanted to add that I use 1 mg of estriol cream (the weaker estrogen) applied vaginally 2 times a week for the last year. I was dx HER+++, ER/PR negative in 2001 at the age of 47, had a total hysterectomy 7 years prior. The cream has gotten rid of my terrible hot flashes, helps me sleep like a rock for 7 to 8 hours a night and has helped with painful intercourse. Not exactly the fountain of youth but it sure helped with my life. This is a natural estrogen compound that is mixed by Medco or any compounding pharmacy. NOT A PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMICAL! Now that I have been on it a year and have not had a recurrence while using it, I feel that I can share this info with you. There is a lot of information on this subject and I would suggest anyone thinking of using it to do some homework before approaching their drs. Dr John R Lee has written a book.... What Your Dr May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer started me down this path. It works for me. I am not saying everyone should use this but its worth looking into if there is a need especially with intimacy.
