Hi, my journey started with a routine mammogram in March 2025. Recalled April, biopsies and diagnosis May. 1st op July, 2nd Sept, 3rd Oct being total left side mastectomy. I was well supported by family, friends and breast care team. Although now I feel a bit hung out to dry as I can’t get some answers about facial and body creams. I’m hormone receptor positive, DCIS non-invasive. (Which I know is really good news). No chemo or radiotherapy. Letrozole for 5 years.
I went to Boots thinking I would find answers there, they don’t have a MacMillan rep anymore. Neither the pharmacy or beauty counter could help.
Does anyone know which creams I could use please? I can’t have extra estrogen as I’m producing too much.
sorry for the long post, appreciate you taking the time to read
