    My sister has Breast cancer that was surgically removed and she is okay, thank God! But the problem now is Menopause. Her doctor said she can't take progesterone and the symptoms are driving her crazy. Can someone please help! I read that some of you see a naturopath. How can she find one in San Diego? Thank you so much!!!

    Dear gscott,

    Here is a link for the Menopause Institute and also the name of an antiaging specialist in San Diego. Evidently the doctor to whom you are referring practices conventional medicine? Hopefully she can find help at one of these places.

    The phone number is 877-5 MENOPAUSE

    www.menopauseinstitute.com

    Dr. Joe Filbeck

    8929 University Center Lane,

    Suite 202

    San Diego CA 92122

    858-457-5700

    I appreciate your help. Do you have any experience with these places? I couldn't find the section that speaks of them dealing with breast cancer and menopause. Thank you so much for even caring:)

    I agree with Nan. If she is seeing a doctor who is not allowing progesterone, he/she is not sufficiently informed and she should find another doctor ASAP. Read the progesterone thread.

    She needs to read up on progesterone herself or she won't be convinced. She may have to get the over the counter progesterone after reading the facts. As far back as ten or 15 years ago, naturopaths and alt med doc were giving progesterone. Many long term survivors take it. Has she read WHAT YOU DOCTOR MAY NOT TELL YOU ABOUT BREAST CANCER? by Drs. Lee and Zava?

    Good luck :)
