Re: Hello everyone
I have had several bone densities since on Femara. I also had joint pain from both herceptin and femara. I have been advised from my pcp, oncologist and ob gyn to take calcium regularly which I do. i also take glucosamine for the joint pain and lots of Vit d. The drugs play havoc on our bodies and can strip calcium but my scans have been fine. They just like to monitor to make sure we are getting what our body needs . I wouldn't stress over it, just another precaution. Always ask her doc before taking any over the counter vitamins but the glucosamine has helped me tremendously. Congrats on completing the chemo and what a great daughter and support system you r .
