Hi -
Good that you mentioned about the calcium aspect. Once past menopause this is VERY important. While on chemo, my med onc put me on Fosamax, and after NED I get Zometa. I also do eat some foods rich in calcium as well as take a supplement of calcimate plus vit D.
Off to have lunch with a friend who also has my same med onc - she has the "beast" back in a lymph node under her arm. This is her third time and she is waiting for the path report to come back to get on a chemo tx. Doc put her back to weekly Herceptin until then.
I feel SO bad for her ;(
