Dear bindurr, One of the indications for use of the medication Danogen (danazol) is for treatment of fibrocystic breast disease it is not a cancer preventive treatment.  This forum is to answer questions regarding breast cancer.  Treatment of benign (non-cancerous) breast problems is not our area of expertise.
