@northoftheborder Right you are - Good and valid point... Although I cant see a direct correlation ,there is some correlation with longer life come more problems potentially . It's a very good point ! Like soem men are on ADT , ADT is known to be very hard on your heart and can complicate Cadio vascular things .... Now with Estradiol coming on stream , that may lessen somewhat ! Who knows, Estradiol may be a first line therapy one day (?) .

@vancouverislandhiker Absolutely, though Estradiol is contraindicated if you are on blood thinners for a history of clots, as happens to many men as they age, so it won't likely replace ADT entirely.
(In my case, I developed DVT in my left calf while I was paralysed in a hospital bed, and it never recurred once I could walk again, but that still means a doctor wouldn't prescribe Estradiol for me).
