Re: Femara

Paul,
Thank you for the advise. I was taking high Dose of Vit.D3 for years and just this year (for no reason) had stopped taking Vit. D3
Hence the heavy joint pain. Will begin my routine of Vit. D3 starting tomorrow.

It appears that the onc. want us to stay on the IA. Janis I am happy to know that the drug stays for a month.
I will take another week break and begin again.
In the meantime I will get back on my Vit. D3 in preparation during my break.

I have to agree that being triple positive is a higher risk.
Warmest thanks to all for your help.
Jean
