I thought this information would be useful to others.  I'm participating in a clinical trial at MDA taking Aromasin and Avandamet to attack my Hormone Receptor Positive BC with bone Mets.  My BMI puts me in the Obese category(hate that) but the trial is to see if regulating my blood sugar along with the Aromatase inhibitor will have an additional positive effect. I am not diabetic though Avandamet is typically prescribed for those who have that diagnosis.
