I am looking for the forum for estrogen positive breast cancer and I don't see it. Has it been renamed something else? I had estrogen positive breast cancer in 2010 and have been living in a state of mild fear of recurrence ever since. I've been having some stomach issues and have been taking these peppermint gels for a few weeks now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SKVGUJG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Come to find out they contain fennel, and I have since learned that fennel is a phytoestrogen. To what degree do I need to be concerned about this? I last had a period 8 years ago (tamoxifen-induced) and I'm 56 so definitely post-menopausal. Does this make a difference as to the danger of phytoestrogens? Has anyone's doctor told them to stay away from fennel?

Thanks.
