Pinkgirl-- I put estrogen in males in the same category as breasts on males--well almost the same. I think male estrogen can help maintain bone health but as with females that are ER+ it is just as bad news--especially for those with Her2+ cancer. And breasts on males--I have been trying to come up with something more useless and so far I've had no luck. All I can see them achieving for males is causing trouble at times--like in the case of my breast cancer. If this evolution thing works so well as some say it does, then why haven't males evolved over the millenniums to the point they have no breasts??

felicia--Thanks for passing on the encourging words your doctor gave to you. I'll check into the Osteocare to see if it is available here. Catchy name for a calcium supplement which I assume it is.
