Hi Vic,

It was an NCI study. I kept checking the clinicaltrials.gov website. It wasn't simple to do from Alaska. I had to pay my own travel and accommodations to the clinical trial site and pay for all the blood draws I had for it here in Alaska.

I was on estriol for a while by Rx from the local OB-GYN, a rather fine female doc who has since moved on. She didn't have a lot of knowledge about the use of estriol when I went to her to ask about it. but she researched it for me as her bc patient.

I stopped using the testosterone Rx I had just after completing the clinical trial and never had used it in the genital area. I stopped it because I was considering participating in a different clinical trial which required no use of hormones of any kind. I will check back in here once I've seen my PCP/NP about renewing the Rx.

Thanks for the suggestion, by the way!
