Hi All,
I'm wondering whether to start taking collegen supplements to counteract the loss of Oestrogen?
I'm 57 and feel about 100! I've read there is no evidence to suggest it changes the effects of Letrozole but by nature, Collegen aids cell growth so maybe not sensible for women after breast cancer.
I'm torn. I'm sure it will make me feel better but is it worth it if there is a small risk of cancer returning?
Anyone take it or had the conversation with a medical expert?
