Estrogen Help!!

I am 4 weeks post-op and when I ask my DR about estrogen he ask me why I think I need it. After going over the list for the 3 month check up I find I have at least 17 of the 35. My pathology came back with atypical cells but they said it was a normal fibroid. He is going to check with the Gyno-onc to see if it is ok to take estrogen. I am going to my PCP on Thursday and I will talk to him about it. I wanted to know some web sites I can read about why we need estrogen.

Hi!

Are you having menopause symptoms? If you are, those are all good reasons to use hormones! I've been using them since the day after my surgery and have no intention of giving them up. It's about quality of life for me as much as anything else.

There are some good links about hormones on this site. You might want to start out with the Hormone Jungle Articles. For more information, check out the Resource Database in the category titled Hormone Jungle - Hormone Resources.

It might be helpful to print some articles that interest you so that you can share them with your doctor at your next appointment. I think you're smart to want to be prepared!
