  1. Well the history in my family is with fibroids.

     

    Many don't realize they have them until their doctors give them the mandatory estrogen script, and then they have chronic difficulties, which I am sure you understand.

     

    I think that it's wrong to just write a script so blindly.

     

    Each person is an individual and I've learned from observation that medicine doesn't think this way.

     

    I had fibroids so bad that it affected my ability to walk. Partial removal of reproductive organs, and I wish I'd done it sooner.

     

    But that was MY situation. It worked best for me.

     

    I strongly agree for everyone to educate themselves and not just take the "standard" blanket solution.

     

    BTW-the surgery Condi Rice just had wouldn't have worked in my situation, although my doctor did present it.


  2. I'd have to agree with both of your recent comments.

     

    My Mom has had difficulties with breast and ovarian cancer. Her oncologists strongly believe that they type of cancer she had in her breast can be tied to her high dosage birth control that she took in the 1960's.

     

    I think they "overdo" in American medicine, which isn't right. Or at least the past history has been that way.
