Thanks for the input, ladies.

I wonder how much influence hormone imbalance played a role in my cancer diagnosis. Two years before my ominous mammogram I was premenopausal and had some dysfunctional uterine bleeding and hemmorhaged.. I had a D & C followed by using perscription bioidentical progesterone cream topically (which was my preference over oral hormone pills or ablation) Then one year before diagnosis I had a second episode of very heavy bleeding. I was perscribed a heavy dose of two packs of birth control pills to stop the bleeding which worked without another D & C. This was the only time I've ever taken birth control pills and I imagine my hormones were way out of wack which triggered the excessive bleeding as we found no other physical cause)..

I'm glad for you Jacquline, that you got some good relief from reflexology. We did look into it for our daughter last year and she did maybe 5-6 one hour sessions. They did not seem to make any difference. Neither did Chinese Medicine or several herbal approaches. Here's a blurb if anyone is interested http://voices.yahoo.com/how-reflexol...s-8496243.html
I did a quick search --here are some more articles about the topic:

Has anyone here happened to read this book or took a look at this guy's research?:
Breast Cancer : Its Link to Abortion and the Birth Control Pill [Paperback]

MD Chris Kahlenborn (Author)
http://www.amazon.com/Breast-Cancer-.../dp/0966977734
"Based on six years of study and a meticulous analysis of hundreds of scientific papers and other sources, Dr. Kahlenborn examines and documents the effect that abortion and hormonal contraception have on breast cancer, uterine, cervical, liver, and other cancers, and the transmission of AIDS. Hormonal contraceptive use before first full term pregnancy is found to increase risk of breast cancer by at least 40% (my note--could this be accurate I wonder?). Special attention is given to black women and to various populations of the world. Dr. Kahlenborn shows great skill in presenting this very technical material in a way laypeople can absorb. A very timely and powerful work."
