It is also important to note - that this would include natural homeopathic remedies. My physician who practices both eastern/western and complementary medicine, will not allow me to take certain vitamins. I am sorry, but my brain is not functioning and I cannot remember the "no-no" remedies. But, being high risk for breast cancer and a previous history of tumors -- It places those of us (even homeopathic hrt) at even greater risk.

Also - ask about the BRCA gene test - especially if you have a large female population of breast cancer in your family. Does not mean you would choose to remove your breasts - but at least make you more aware and will put you in the higher risk category, which is a very good thing, as you will be watched much closer.
