I chose to take it only every other day fr beginning 10 mos ago and more recently I take it in halves in morn night with meal.
I do not really have any side affects accept a little knee joint pain , but I am quite active so it is a combo of why I think I have a little pain sometimes. I'm also 5' tall and I was told the prescription is the same for a 6' woman or other sz. I've had clear Cat scans---but I am worried for the next one.. I've been under so much stress that I feel panicky about the metastatic BC to my vertabrae--it feels achey where my frightening biopsy was to one vertabrae and they drilled through my muscle to get 3 dif. core samples of the 5-7 mm tumor. That achiness flares up with surprise debilitating issues that I am beset with. I try to deep breath & redirect or set boundries w/ offenders and go to positive thinking as best I can.

@rococo325 What I had was a minute DCIS. I am 78 years old, and this was not an aggressive type. Because I have a husband that has end stage kidney disease with accompanying cognitive issues, I have to be very sharp. I run all the family finances, I administer home hemodialysis three times a week. If I have another bout, I will deal with it. I discussed my decision with my surgeon and with my cardiologist. We all have to live with our decisions. Hope your New Year will be Healthful.
