Front page story in the NY Times: A large federal study of hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women was abruptly halted, researchers say, because the drugs caused a slight but significant increase in the risk of invasive breast cancer. The stock price of the company that makes the drug has dropped significantly. I just looked in the medicine cabinet. My wife has been taking this for over 2 years. You can imagine I was startled when I saw the Wyeth name on a package of premarin plus. I'm not immediately freaked out because Patricia is in excellent health and recently had a mammogram done, but I can't help feeling very uneasy about this. The company has a press release on their own site, but it doesn't actually tell you which pills were used in the study.
