Hi Bob,

I actually don't know whether it can be used safely for longer periods. I guess I just assumed that it couldn't be because it is a female hormone,and because the use at Stanford was so brief. But it's not estrogen, which would be feminizing, so maybe it can be. And I didn't know that it had been used longer term for a man with Cushing's Disease- that's fascinating.

Just brainstorming here, but maybe this is the kind of drug which can be used long-term in a stop-start fashion, the way they use various anti-androgens in men with prostate cancer.

I do hope you will let us know what you decide upon- I think there are hundreds of us who will really appreciate knowing! And the best of luck to you.
