I too was given Estrogen and Premarin from age 10-13 and was also guesstimated to be approximately 6'3". Now at 46 and 5'10", I am very happy with my height but so worried about the long term effects. They chose not to study us which is unfortunate. My brother did the same hormone treatment with Testosterone and was diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of 40 and passed at 44. With no family history, it really makes me wonder. Breast cancer runs in my family (all women have been digagnosed but me) so I feel like my parents may have signed my death sentence.
