UTI
I have IDC stage 1. Estrogen receptor positive, her3 negative, I'm actually very lucky to be as old as I am and to have gotten the diagnosis I did. Had a lumpectomy a month ago, I'm going to go for five radiation treatments, and after that, I will start an estrogen suppressor.
Because of the estrogen positive status I was advised to stop using estrogen cream. I'm well past menopause and was expecting a UTI and here it is. Two months after stopping, my first UTI.
Does anybody have any suggestions about how to avoid these when one has an onion skin hooha and can't use estrogen cream? I was told to stop all supplements before the radiation, so I'm assuming that includes cranberry pills. I already wipe front to back.
Thanks.
