Hi, Lynda.  Once again, the news reports only tell a portion of the story
and people are left with incomplete facts.  What else is new?

There are, as you probably know, three types of estrogen.  The type I am
taking, estriol (not estradiol) is widely used in China and Europe and is
the "safe" estrogen.  Is is protective for osteoporosis and is also show
good results for Alzheimers, etc.  I have it compounded by my pharmacist
along with progesterone.  Estriol does not appear to cause rapid cell
division and is considered safe for women who are at risk for breast cancer
and for women like me who are bc survivors.

I'm obviously netting this out because it is off topic.
