Jean,

I have no children so have never breastfed, making your observation interesting to me. I think that the entire realm of endocrinology is overlooked in bc; it would be endocrinologists that might have some insight into the hormonal workings ofour tissues, one would think. To answer your question, it does not sound crazy to me. I am just genuinely curious as to how this whole hormonal thing works. I want to see more research conducted such as that which produced this article Lani posted. If doctors are designing clinical trials for bc drugs based solely on blood levels of hormones, and the blood levels are not relevant when compared to the breast tissue, it says to me a lot of the studies don't mean what the researchers thought they meant when they designed them. We all need better information about how these drugs work if we are going to make them work for us.
