Can Vagifem Be Used While Treating Breast Cancer?

I had invasive breast cancer. Removed by having a lumpectomy. I am taking Evista now to prevent it from coming back. My gynecologist has ordered Vagifem for me to build back the lining of my vaginal wall. Should I be taking this with my cancer condition? My oncologist said my breast cancer was estrogen fed.

Vagifem is recommended in low dose and used only intermittently twice weekly to limit the estrogen dosage to the blood stream.
