Re: Femara

Thanks Paul and Carol Ann. I have been on 50,000 IU vitamin D once a week for years - way before I had cancer. It was prescribed by my rheumatologist to help with osteoporosis. One of the oncologists I've seen since my move gave me an infusion of Zometa for ostoporosis. I hope one or both of these measures will help, but neither has stopped the bone/joint pain.

I guess there's nothing more to be done.
