Using Oestrogen Cream after HER2 Positive Breast Cancer

I am triple negative and my breast consultant was happy for me to continue to use Vagifem

My consultant, too, was happy for me to continue Vagifem, even though my bc was 8/8 oestrogen receptive, it was ‘quality of life’ choice she said.

I am using Replens, which is oestrogen free, so that might be worth a try first if you are worried. My oncologist did. also say if that doesn't work then “quality of life” was important and we'd look at alternatives.

And I empathise with the curly hair, dodgy nails and half regrown eyebrows! 

I tried replens, which was good and am now using regelle as I prefer the application method (single thin tubes, rather than thicket multi use applicator).

Both are hormone free and have made a massive difference to how I feel there. Why don't you give those a go first before hormone creams if you are worried? Research shows they can be just as good at healing and moisturising and I have certainly noticed this. 

For UTIs/cystisis, look into pure d-mannose. Endless cycles of antibiotics are not good for your whole system. You might want to take a course of probiotics too to get your system back on track after antibiotics.

Replens also do a single use by the way, but i might also look at Regelle, hadn't come across that, thanks 

Oh I didn't realise that, thanks. Regelle very similar, but seems to be less messy for me for some reason. 

Thank you so much! ️

Thanks so much for this

Thank you so much!  I've never spent so much money on eyebrow pencil in my life.  I think I've done a good job then catch sight of myself in a mirror and realise one is an inch higher than the other!  You have to laugh tho!

Thank you so much for this!  I am seeing my doctor this week so will definitely mention this.  I have been given Sylk lubricant previously but didn't get on well with it and seemed to go through loads of it!  I have been taking probiotics and am eating saurkraut. Definitely an acquired taste!
