How long ago is it since you girls have finished chemo but also radiotherapy. Which A.I. are you taking? I do remember Janet is taking Tamoxifin......:-)
I finished chemo July 2012. I finished rads Sept 2012. I have been on Femara since November 2012.
Lots of love and good thoughts for our chemo brains, Mich xoxooxxo
