Is there anyone else out there that is on something such as actonel or fosomax for their bones?
I am about to start fosomax since I was just recently switched from tamoxifen to Arimidex which supposedly causes bone loss. I had a bone scan stating I am osteopenic---I will be 42 next month. (total hysterectomy in December).
I was just googling fosomax and don't like what I see!! Lot's of negative things. I am so darn tired of trying to do what's best and getting so confused over the good and the bad info out there.
So do I want osteoporosis or risk my breast CA coming back? Any help or insight into fosomax would be greatly appreciated.
