Here's a link to a video by Snuffy Myers about estrogen treatments

http://prostateexperts.com/

He prefers estradiol to DES, and prefers skin patches to pills. There's

a lot of info in the video.

For some reason, I can't seem to view Myers' prostate videos in Firefox.

I have to use Internet Explorer. So if you are using Firefox, be forewarned.

You may also know about the HRPCa website, but in case you don't, see:

For all of the fine work that you have done for other patients, you

are someone for whom I wholeheartedly say: Best of luck to you.
