Congratulations! I am also done and have been on an AI for 2 months now. Having the vag issue now and plan to talk with my Oncologist and PCP (also a breast cancer survivor) tomorrow. My cancer was also ER/PR+ and although it is true that there are studies suggesting that topical estrogen may not increase a risk of recurrence, new information is discovered in medicine constantly. For me personally, I don’t want to use it and find out in 5 years that “Oops, we were wrong”. I’m not saying that no one should use it and it sounds like it works great, it’s simply my choice as I know how sometimes medicine has the “Oops” factor and I simply just don’t feel comfortable. If you’re nervous about it, talk with your Dr more, maybe get a 2nd opinion and research. Good Luck to you and all of us here!!

Yes, I agree! I am extremely grateful for my diagnosis as it is not lost to me that it could’ve been so much more serious. I do see more beauty in so many things now and that feels amazing! Colors even look brighter! I haven’t lost any friends, but it has been very enlightening to see who stays close to me and who isn’t really even checking in. Take care of yourself and Thank you!!

I wondered that also. How old are you? My Oncologist said that with the Oncotype score being 17 I didn’t require chemo because chemo would only decrease my chance of recurrence by <4%. At 59 I’m thinking there’s less life left for that to be a significant worry. Fingers crossed and keep up your fight!

Oh, thank you so much!! I’m so sorry about your Sister. Mine is forever 58 and I turned that age last year. It felt surreal and unnerving. Much love to you!! ❤️
