I had estrogen positive breast cancer and vaginal atrophy - I need these compounded hormones

I need these hormones because they are one quarter as strong as the Estring estrogens and I need to use a local estrogen to avoid UTIs. My breast cancer was estrogen and progestroren positive. Tamoxofin , hormone fighting treatment I need to take, causes vaginal dryness, which I have had for many years. Also, the Estring which I have used for many years is now a $200.00 co pay every 3 months. UTIs can cause death.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
