For those of you who don't know what this is, I posted info on the "OPINION/DISCUSSION ON BC" thread. This could have very well been a contributing factor.

Back then, this drug was prescribed to lessen the chance of miscarriage. It was toted as this wonderful drug until the FDA yanked it off the shelf in the 70's. Millions of women took it innocently.

So now, you guessed it, they're linking it to breast cancer.

With soooo many different drugs on the market for just about every ailment under the sun, it's just really important to research everything you can about it. Most I'm sure are good (and needed), however, there are a few that can fall through the FDA "cracks".

Back then, there was no way of researching this drug because computers as we know them, simply didn't exist. But now we have the means to research and make ourselves aware of what is prescribed.
