The relationship between estrogen and uterine cancer risk

Dear. Dr. Roach: I saw a recent reply to a letter about estrogen and wanted to ask my own related questions. I’m a 93-year-old woman with many of the problems and issues of others my age. When I was going through menopause, my doctor put me on oral estrogen. He said it was to protect my heart and bones. About 20 years later, I developed uterine cancer. I’m wondering if the estrogen could have led to the cancer. I had a hysterectomy and radiation treatments six times a week for six weeks. I find myself wishing I could go back and refuse the estrogen. I could have coped with the menopause issues and maybe now I wouldn’t have the worse problem of neuropathy. I certainly wish there was some treatment available for it.
