It sounds as if there are questions with the tissue removed from your wife so more in-depth laboratory stud...

A 25 mg dose of Aromasin is a tiny little pill. I don't know that it could (or should be) split. As far as the bone pain goes, I imagine you have been through worse. You do have pain killers, and that always helps take the edge off, at least. Compared to Taxol bone pain, Aromasin is not as bad. It's a different pain, too. Taxol got me in my joints, where...
