Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. There is no reported bad correlation between carcinoids and hormonal therapy. Hormones from carcinoids are different from those used in HRT.  So i don't see a reason not to take it. Also, you should know is there any relays of carcinoid. DO frequent check-ups made of imaging tests and hormone measurements. Wish you good health.
