About this episode

The episode discusses the safety and implications of using estrogen products after breast cancer treatment with expert insights from Dr. Elenora Teplinsky.

This week we’re tackling one of the most misunderstood topics in survivorship: estrogen. Are topical estrogen products actually safe after breast cancer? And more importantly, should you be using them? We’re joined by Dr. Elenora Teplinsky, a medical breast and gynecologic oncologist, who breaks down the science behind treating menopause symptoms after cancer treatment, why vaginal health matters, and how quality of life is not a luxury, it’s part of survivorship.
