Hi itsjust4fun91,
Thanks so much for your response.
Although I'm hoping I don't, I have a feeling I am going to get the same kind of response you did from my Dr. I have a feeling she is not really going to tell me either way, which is so frustrating! I would rather her give me an honest opinion - even if it's not what I what to hear - than to leave it entirely up to me just because she is uninformed. Is it too much to ask for??? I really do my best to research things, but without a medical background, there is only so much I can piece together. It's so frustrating when no one really knows what causes cancer and so they pretty much assume everything causes cancer. I really wish there was better research. I am a worry wort and could benefit from some re-assuring studies.
I have a question for you -- do you think that the progesterone in BB is better than the estrogen of other pills??? I have read (as we all have) that too much estrogen can cause breast cancer. (Yes, I'm on birth control). However, I have heard that progesterone actually helps PREVENT cancer???? Am I right about this??? This is good?!?! Would this mean BB is a good choice?!!
