Yeah SuzanW! You got your vitamin D tested!

The leukemia risk is why I skipped the anthracycline and went with the taxane.

We are certainly all pioneers in these treatments - and new ones now with Herceptin, Tykerb, Perjeta, Kadcyla, etc It will take decades for everything to settle out. By then we will have even more new treatments. It's a roll of the dice . . . we make the best decisions based on the information available at the time.

May we all be blessed with good health.
