Thank you all for your replies. I have really been torn with this whole thing----taking an AI to prevent a recurrance yet I feel so at risk now for osteoporosis since I am already osteopenic. I just am getting so tired of having to make decisions about my health and there is no simple "do or don't" it seems.
I haven't started the fosomax yet. It is still sitting on my kitchen counter. I just started Arimidex on Monday so I am waiting to see what goes with that!
Cheryl it was good to hear your bone density values tapered off. That gave me some confidence for I have researched that the chemo can cause the bone loss. I am going to turn 42 in a few weeks and want many more pain free years ahead. It is really a *&$%@ when the treatments and preventions can cause other serious conditions!
