-- 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.
