Attention Dr. James Connerth
A belated thank you for your response of April the 2nd.
I have taken your advice by now taking a baby aspirin a day and I do enjoy red grape juice often.
Since the 2nd, the news concerning Tamoxifen has come out. I think I better wait for more imformation.
My breast CA was lobular insitu 10 years ago, found because of micro calcifications. My endrometrial CA
was squamous cell 8 years ago. I feel completely cured, but could there be endo. CA cells somewhere that could be activated?
 My sister and I both had spontaneous leg thrombosis.
