    This is best answered by your surgeon or oncologist who know :
    was the tumor hormone receptive ?
    How many years have passed since the diagnosis ?
    What was the stage of the tumor ?
    and why would one use DHEA in the first place, since it is an anabolic steroid with a well
    known set of its own side effects.
    If one is 5 + years out from a diagnosis of stage I breast cancer which is hormone receptor positive, there should be no problem with any sort of hormone, or even pregnancy in many cases.
