Thank you for letting me join the forum, my name is Kim I am 66 years old and had a hysterectomy when I was in my 40,s . Last year I was diagnosed with stage 3 her2 positive oestrogen negative, metastatic breast cancer. I also have heart disease and was unable to have herceptin and chemo so my cancer is not cured. After my mastectomy my surgeon and oncologist said that I could stay on HRT to protect my bones but changed it from tablets to eostrogel, I get on reasonably well with the gel but have started to develop severe jaw and tooth pain since using it, I have read that this can be an issue and wondered if anybody else has had similar and would it be worth my changing over to the patches. I am sorry for this really long introductory message, I am just worried about having constant tooth and jaw pain, it has all been checked by dentist and oncologist so it seems to come down to the oestrogel , I would be so grateful to hear about others experiences with transdermal eostrogen thank you very much for taking the time to read this
