Hi Jane,

I had an ooph in '06 and have been taking Arimidex ever since and really have'nt noticed a difference although my last Dexa did show some bone loss. My Onc has approved a yearly iv of Zometa for this and I do tend to exercise a lot so hoping I can prevent it getting any worse, good luck with your decision.
