Hormones after breast cancer: Not fuel for the fire after all?

Very interesting! I sure have been reading a lot about adding testosterone. Thanks cp!

Oh, it's just so hard to know.  I was on a couple of hormones post-bc (testosterone and DHEA; bioidentical, low dose), RX'd by my ND.  She wanted to put me on estrogen as well (after extensive hormone testing), but when I asked me local onc, he made a comment like, "Sure.  Go ahead.  And then you can sue her when you have a recurrence."  My UCLA onc told me quite emphatically on another matter (testing bc cells with therapies prior to using them) that results you get in petri dishes or even in mice don't always translate to the same result in our bodies, just b'cuz we are so complex and there's is so much going on besides that one interaction.  

So, I would personally tread very carefully with this.  I think it's a different matter if you've never had bc and your hormones are analyzed by a competent hormone doc prior to starting BHRT and carefully monitored while you're on them.  But even then, there could be genetic factors at work that are not accounted for in this research.  JMHO...
