Liz,
I am taking actonel, I am taking an AI and my onc. said due to the AI
I need to take the actonel. We choose actonel since it is easier on the
stomach. I had a bone density test in 2005/and one in 2006 I had improvment while on Actonel. I had a very slight bone loss on my right hip which has improved while on Actonel. I also take calicum and of course
eat foods high in calicum. Will be due for another bone density test.
Best of Luck,
Jean
