Blood clots, anyone?

Has anyone had trouble with developing blood clots while on Femara or other AI's? I developed a pulmonary embolism 8 weeks after starting on Femara. I'm now on Coumidin.

Radiation question

I have finished 14/30 of my radiation treatments. So far, I don't have any skin issues. I was wondering when that usually starts to happen?
