I hope everything works out well for you, and that you stick around, i'm honestly surprised we haven't had any recent posts from diva, hope she didn't think she had to leave....

I also hope everything works out for you PattiJT.

In regards to diva's absence, I have the feeling that she and other members may have a lot going on in their lives lately, which is why they haven't posted recently. It would be unfortunate if she left because she no longer felt welcomed.

Hi Patti,

I'd encourage you, if you haven't, to look at the abstracts of papers on PM in Google Scholar. I'm no scientist, but it looks to me like PM is a lot safer than pharm hormones. There are ( I think) 3 kinds of estrogen, and PM replicates the safest form. I seem to recall papers that indicate that PM not only is unlikely to cause breast cancer, but actually to protect against it.

For genetic males, wouldn't any benefit pm provides in reducing the chance of breast cancer be countered by the added risk of getting breast cancer due to the growth of breast tissue? After all, the development of breast tissue is what makes genetic females more susceptible to breast cancer than genetic males who have practically non-developed breast tissue.
