Thanks, all of you. My doctor did mention that it is better for bone health. My bone density test indicated that I had osteopenia, the precursor to osteoporosis. No one in my family had osteoporosis that I know of so it is probably a side effect from the chemo. I hope it works for both of us. The hugs and love do help.

R.B.... I have found an orange juice supplemented with omega threes. I mix my nasty potassium into it.
