Is HRT safe after bilateral mastectomy for estrogen and progesterone receptor positive DCIS?

Thank you for your question.I recommend speaking to your oncologist about restarting HRT. He or she will be able to answer that question best.Thank you!Manish Champaneria, MD

With ER and PR positive breast cancer you should not take HRT.  Talk with your oncologist, there are many OTC therapies that work well for women with hot flashes that is safe to take following your diagnosis.Good Luck!

HRT management for hot flashes is very common.  Unfortunately, hormone replacement is generally NOT recommended for patients with estrogen and progesterone positive breast cancer.   Ask your medical oncologist.   He or she will be able to give you the full data on risks of HRT based on your surgical pathology report.  Best of luck on your continued recovery.

Doesn't sound likely that you will be able to if you had positive receptors, but that decision is up to your oncologist to review with you. Good luck.

Many patients can. It depends on the intricacies of your pathology.Speak with your oncologist.Hope tyhis helps
