I meant to update that I checked with Dr. K about this endometrial cancer business. Yes, it is a reality; but he is convinced that with regular check-ups, we would be able to catch it early on and treat it successfully.
One thing he brought up is that women should have a 300:1 ratio of Progesterone to Estrogen in their saliva. (Part of why I'm doing the saliva test). He says my ratio is very close to the opposite end of the spectrum. Estrogen dominance is a large cause of Endometrial Cancer. Not cycling every month is another cause. I have both of those things going against me. However, I have God on my side. Is the word cancer enough to scare me? Absolutely. Is the knowledge that my God is bigger than cancer enough to calm my fears? Absolutely.
I've been such a downer lately that I felt I really needed to share this news and the hope that I have in this situation!
