So I had a right sided mastectomy for DCIS and tubular breast cancer. Very low risk. Went off HRT and was prescribed Letrozole. I’m miserable. I have hot flashes that start as what I imagine panic attacks are. I’m get short of breath, heart races and I feel nauseous. This is every 2 hours, All day and night. I’m 59 years old, exhausted, and have no quality of life. Are there any doctors who would prescribe HRT again? To me the benefits far outweigh the risk. If a cancer recurs it would be in my other breast which I can also remove. But I’m so miserable right now that the risk seems worth it to me.

I have gone through Hysterectomy ( Ovaries were not removed) in 2014 and I was diagnosed with Breast cancer in June 2022

thanx for your response to my question,,but there is so much conflicting advise on this subject,i believe the hypothalmus pituatary ovary axis should be addressed more then it is,this involves keeping the balance of estrogen,progesterone and testosterone in balance,this is why women that have had multiple children have much lower risk of breast cancers,because the process of being pregnant activate higher levels of progesterone LUH,,/F0S hormones,when theres a correct balance of hormones then theres less chance of cancer Correct,,but ive noticed that only the biologists address this problem,,Doctors only address the after the fact symptoms with drugs that lower estrogen, i think all doctors should have more education in biology so that they are able to treat the underlying conditions first instead of only treating the symtoms after the fact,,, the knowledge is out there but there seems to be NO meeting of the minds,,all the while SO many women are suffering,,when will this CHANGE ,??????

Why is there no mention of the hormones-- including estrogen-- in meat eggs and dairy? This is a b͟i͟g͟ omission!

there are three kinds of estrogen bad estrogen and good estrogen

I'm a male Breast cancer survivor. Your explanations about estrogen was very clear and to the point. However how is this effected in males. I'm currently taking Tamoxifen and in my case I've been told I'll be taking it for the next 5 to 10 years. What effects of these medications and what are some warning signs ( if any ) I should watch out for?

Thank you, Dr. Griggs, for always promoting and supporting breast cancer (health), and educating the general public.

So if one has Lobular Carcinoma in Situ, has breast cancer been established? I’ve always been told “you don’t have breast cancer yet… “ but still BHRT is not recommended. Please talk about this. There is not enough information about LCIS out there

Very clear and informative. Thank you.

Yes, this was interesting. Thank you.

Thank you for this education. Does one have to avoid the oral sulliment evening primrose oil. A friend said they thought she read data on a possible linkage.

What about the 20% of Estrogen Receptor (ER) positive stage 1 or 2 breast cancers that have spread dormant cells to other areas of the body usually to the bone marrow. Then the 5 year rule is not correct. As these dormant cells can then get going again 5-20 years later after initial treatment. There has been a large increase in the number of people being diagnosed with ER+ breast cancer, maybe caused by both the increase in chemicals in our environment leading to changes in breast tissue (denser tissue leading to a reduction in tumour suppressor proteins) and also the increase in estrogen and estrogen type chemicals in our food and water.

This was digestable and informative! When you say older birth control pills, do you mean pills that were filled a long time ago or older brands/types of birth control pills?

I have been diagnosed with estrogen positive cancer, and have undergone a lumpectomy , 16 radiation treatments and am now on Letrozole. So far so good… no side effects so far with the letrozole, which I have been on for three months. I am trying to get my life back on track, and I want to improve my diet while losing a bit of weight. I read that lignans in flax seed help to balance hormones by promoting estrogen, but if I am on estrogen blockers, is this something I should avoid? Btw, I really appreciate your videos and find them all very informative

Thank you so much for your presentation. Can insertion any estrogen vaginal tablets risk of increasing beast cancer? My GYN physician prescribed it for vaginal dryness.
