Re: Sanjay Gupta talks about Metformin
Hi Cathy There are quite a few Metformin trials going in Toronto at the present time. I believe Princess Margaret and perhaps Mt. Sinai. On my last visit to my oncologist I had asked if I could go into the trial because they are looking for early stage breast cancer but you had to have been diagnosed not more than a year previously. I am four years out now so did not qualify. I suppose when these trials do concur that they help prevent recurrence it should be available to all. I believe quite a few women on the boards are taking metformin. Lois
