Andy;

I think you slipped a digit or two! 3/10,000 is 0.003%, not 0.000003%. In more human terms, this probability works out to 300 excess cases of breast cancer per million women taking ERT. The lifelong risk of a woman developing breast cancer at some point in time, according to one statistic I heard, is about 10%. Can anyone confirm this risk?

Regards, ...Dave

How about .003%? How's your floating-point decimal?
