Thanks Becky,
additional question on estrogen...have there been any studies on woman
with very low weight / or/ ideal weight and estrogen levels? I find it intersting that one size AI dose seems to fit all. I realize that studies
demostrated the dose to be effective to control estrogen for all. I was just wondering how that fits in across the board. For instance, a woman
who is under weight /on the other side of the fence / over weight.

My onc. does not do regular follow up estrogen levels...do you think
this is something that should be done?

Thanks,
Big Hug
