Thanks for posting this Lani - and I see the study was done at PMH - where I had my mastectomy.

UTIs and other related issues have definitely been a big concern to me, and I think it is important to note that 63% of women reported some kind of urogenital symptoms. - 63% - I think we have to make our oncs. more aware of this and demand better answers.

all the best
