Hi Fmssam,
Just sending some "Thinking of you thoughts" after your 1st chemo.
Everyone is different on how their body reacts to chemo.
So, after the 1st chemo, be sure to let your providers know know how it went when you got home.
If needed, there's many ways the post chemo meds can be adjusted and tweaked.
Think you were to have a port placed July 5th......hope that went OK.
With caring and positive thoughts,
Grateful for today..............Judy

Fmssam and Kathy G,
I finished my treatment plan about 21 months ago........Yes, one does finally finish the
treatment plan.
You will see on the forums that VIt D and BRCA testing is frequently mentioned.
Donna already posted some Vit D links above.....will repeat.....

(see especially page 26)
If you already know your Vitamin D level, great.
If not, have your physician check your Vit D3 level. If it should be low, you and your
physician can make a plan for supplementation ( with Vit D3 ) to raise it.

There is also a thread on a gene study:
