Thanks for the links, Rich. I can't argue with any of the statements made therein. It is also interesting to me that of the 5 "women's diseases men can get too," in addition to the breast cancer, I have gotten 3 of the other 4 too--osteoporosis, thyroid disease and yeast infections . Now I attribute the thinning of my bones and yeast infection to the chemotherapy I received, but it only points out to me that sometimes there isn't much difference between the sexes. I just wish the trials sponsors agreed--bird
