Now that the cancer cells have mutated in such a way that they are no longer controlled by DES, I wonder if you could not 'mutate' your drug from DES to ethinyl estradiol (EE). EE is about 20-25 times as active as DES, so the dose starts at 0.1 mg per day, up to 1 mg per day. 50 years ago, when DES was 'the' standard it was prescribed when DES was not well tolerated. At that time it was much more expensive than DES. Nowadays it is used in almost all formulations of oral constraceptive pills and one of the most commonly used medications.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10577926.post-52394671086211080382010-11-11T09:33:46.037-06:002010-11-11T09:33:46.037-06:00David,
