It certainly was a megadose, one I thought to be setting the study up for failure, IMHO. I'm very thankful not to be taking that much as well. Whew!
Yes, Dr. Stacy D. D'Andre is at Mayo in Rochester, MN, and she is absolutely wonderful!
Medical oncology basically dismissed me since I was not taking chemo/estrogen blockers, so I'm being followed every six months in the Breast Clinic at Mayo in Rochester as well as by Dr. D'Andre, so I feel I have a good safety net. I listen to my body. If it is whispering, I try to catch it before it starts to scream, if you know what I mean.

It's not easy to learn how to listen to one's body at first. My doctor mom saved her own life, twice, by going with what she felt her body was telling her and disregarding the doctors' ideas. I hasten to add that they were right, according to the medical protocols at the time and she would have told a patient the same thing, but her gut (which we now know performs some activities thought the exclusive domain of the brain) instincts said nope.
