Does anyone have any information about CLL and taking either Black Cohosh or Estrovera for low estrogen? Or any other insights into managing low estrogen and CLL?

Thanks.

There are liver concerns with Black Cohosh, and CLL certainly effects the liver as well. These questions should be directed to your CLL specialist
