Joanne,

I haven't tried Dr. Bulun's new treatment but I do go to the same practice that he is at. I see a different doctor. However, the research that I have done on aromatase inhibitors sounds very promising. Right now I am trying Provera which has been working very well until today it seems. I have a big problem w/ cysts too. Provera has really helped that. Where are you located? If you would like please email me at keara786@yahoo.com and I'll send you some of the articles I have about aromatose inhibitors and I can give you the number of his office. I wish you the best of luck!
