My Vitamin D was at 14 and supposed to be at 30, and I just finished the 12 week dose of 50,000 IU and now on daily dose of 2000 IU. I would add the Glucosomine like my Oncologist told me...Take it 30 days if it helps keep taking it and if it doesn't then stop taking it.

I take 75 MG of Venaflexin for the Hot flashes, and I rarely have them anymore.

I question your ONC putting you on Tamoxifen then switching you to an AI?? I started this BC garbage at 46 and I went from 30% ER to 70%ER after the masectomy. I wrote on here about Tamox vs AI and what my ONC Dr. Kathy Miller (LOVE HER) said regarding which to take.

Keep questioning until you feel settled with a decision that you come up with!
