I don't think the two diseases ought to be competing against each other, i think we need to realize that some of the causes of heart diseases are major causes of cancer.

We've done the science. We've proven that it lowers the risk for women at high risk and I don't understand why more people won't take it, we have a large number of women who are undergoing the surgical removal of both breasts to reduce their risk of breast cancer, yet we have a pill with very few side effects that can prevent cancer and people are passing it up.

Go talk to your internist who did the referral, that's someone with whom you should have an open and honest conversation about this.
