Sorry if someone already mentioned this but I just saw it today. Here's an article some of you ladies may find interesting or helpfull. It shows a promising link between Hormone Replacement Therapy and preventing Colon Cancer. You might want to consider talking to someone about it. My thinking is if it can help prevent it could it help treat it as well....

Coffee for post menopausal women
A compound in coffee has been found to be estrogenic in studies by Texas AgriLife Research scientists.
Though the studies have not been conducted to determine recommended consumption amounts, scientists say the compound, called trigonelline or “trig,” may be.... beneficial against colon cancer development.
Still, the compound’s potential as a weapon against colon cancer has the researchers “pretty excited about that.”
“We’re seeing very interesting information as far as tumor formation and the ability of phytoestrogens to prevent colon cancer formation. So any other new, natural phytoestrogen that we are able to identify and relate to the diet, that would be the model we’d bring it in to,” Allred said of possible future studies on “trig.”
He said a hope would be to develop a drug that could treat colon tissue without getting into the entire body, thus exploiting the compound’s mechanism to protect again cancer formation without producing other estrogenic effects.
