WLS SURGERY WITH A HISTORY OF BREAST CANCER?

I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER IN 2000. HAD A LUMECTOMY, 8 ROUNDS OF CHEMOTHERAPY, AND 5 WEEKS OF RADIATION. IN READING ABOUT WLS I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A RECURRENCE SINCE RAPID WEIGHT LOSS CAUSES HIGH LEVELS OF ESTROGEN. MY TUMOR WAS HORMONE RECEPTOR NEGITIVE WHICH MEANS I CANNOT TAKE HORMONE THERAPY TO HELP WITH MENOPAUSE. I'M THINKING WLS COULD PLACE ME AT HIGH RISK. IF ANYONE HAS HAD BREAST CANCER AND IS CONSIDERING OR HAS HAD WLS PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!
