Has anyone been exposed to diethylstilbestrol (D.E.S) in utero?
Has anyone here been exposed to DES while in-utero? My mom was prescribed it in the 1950’s. I’ve had a hysterectomy, cervical cancer, vaginal cancer (now returned).

Yes, I would be interested. Can it be printed off the website?
email me and I will send it to you.
@kmfdallas, if you have a digital copy of the pamphlet, for example as a pdf, you can attach it to your message.

When you pull up the "Reply" screen, you will see a grey box at the bottom that says: "Add Photo/Files (Optional). Just click on that, and it will allow you to attach a PDF.

1 ReactionOk, let's try it this way:
Click on the blue box that says "Reply"
A blank box will appear for a message
At the bottom of the blank box you should see a "grey box" with the words: Add Photo/Files (opetional)
Try this and let me know if you see it.
