I have been taking Actonel for three years
35 Mg. once per week.

Just had my yrly bone densisty test and there was no change in my status...slight osteopenia of my hip.

I take calicum 2,000
Vit. D3 1,000
I lift weights and walk walk .....
Also very important, I go to my dentist every 4 months I have made many changes in my care since dx. Now do
breast check ups every 6 months...increased my dental visits and cleaning...doing the best I can. When I asked my onc. for Zometa, he said to me let's save it...for now he wants me to remain with Actonel, but I will discuss this with him when I see him in Feb. for my every 3 month check...I don't know how I manage to get my business done, house work complete, and still have all the fun I am having....it seems everytime I turn around it is time to see some Dr.? Teehee....

All good wishes to all.
Hugs,
jean
