	9.	By the way, doctor. I am 59 years old, in good health, and have been on HRT (estrogen and progesterone) for about 10 years.

	12.	By the way, doctor: I received an e-mail from a friend about the dangers of using tampons because of the asbestos, dioxin, and rayon in them.

	13.	By the way, doctor. In the lead article about HRT use in your April issue, you didn't mention Estrace. I've taken it for several years, without any problems.

	14.	By the way, doctor. I received a widely circulated e-mail message about use of the CA-125 blood test in screening for ovarian cancer.
