Evista or Ralaxofin for bc prevention and bone mass

[RobinP]

Is anyone on Evista to increase bone mass? I heard that the STARS study also recently approved it for use in bc prevention...a double whammy. How bad are the side effects of this drug...for hot flashes etc.? Thanks.

Dear Robin

Attached is an article about Evista. There is also an ASCO link within the article. Evista acts like Tamoxifen but the uterine cancer and blood clot side effects are reduced.

Hope you are doing well.

I have been on Evista for a few months. Haven't really noticed any side effect. I have hotflashes, but they don't seem any worse on Evista.
