That's a miserable title. 0.625 mg/day of conjugated equine estrogens plus 2.5 mg/day of medroxyprogesterone acetate is one of at least four concentration variants of Prempro.

So the more hormones used in HT, the more cancer created?

Ping.

presumably then the breast cancer incidence among uninsured women was lower than for insured women?

[Dr. Scarpetta]

In the last year and a half, my sister, my sister-in-law, and two friends were diagnosed with breast cancer. They had surgery. Some had radiation or chemo, and some had both. They are presently doing well. Not one of them ever took HRT.

I have a friend who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer over 5 years ago, had surgery, chemo, and she’s presently not doing well. She had taken HRT for years, but evidently there is supposed to be no link between HRT and ovarian cancer.

I was put on Prempro for a problem that turned out to be rare and exacerbated by the Progesterone in Prempro.

A very small amount of Estrace 3 times a week treats it just fine along with Clobetasol. Estrace is much more natural than the horse stuff.

Wyeth makes Prempro and tried to have the government block Estrace compounding. (For this condition we don't take orally and in Canada they can only get it by compunding the pill.)

For people with my rare condition it's scary. Now, Pfizer bought Wyeth and I hope they don't pursue this anti-compounding FDA arm twisting.
