Yippee! Today was my last treatment from radiation. It was a bitter sweet moment when I left today! Believe me I am so happy to be done but I will surely miss my radiation technicians. They took very good care of me and I am so blessed to have had such great care.

Now to move on to the next step in my journey and that is the Armidex for five plus years.

    Yes I will have to take

    Yes I will have to take calcium and also Vit D. I was low on Vit D so my onc prescribed D2 50,000 IC one a week for 8 weeks. I will start my Armidex on July 20th. Hopefully no side effect.

    Good Luck to you to Faith.
