Ladies, this is why we do not want universal heath care, socialized medicine, think socialism, in this country. As Amanda noted, we are better cared for, "looked after", in this country!

Amanda, do not forget DIM and Calcium D-Glucarate, supplements that bind estrogen quite effectively. I take these in conjunction with my Tamoxifen, especially since they have been shown to have a protective effect on the uterus and the incidence of endometrial cancer associated with Tamoxifen use. Google DIM for information. I order mine from Swanson Vitamins: www.SwansonVitamins.com.

I wish you all the best in your quest!
