Bone Fractures.

Has anyone else experienced bone fractures from treatment? I finished my chemo (FEC 100, Taxotere, Xeloda) with Herceptin in October and then continued Herceptin with mastectomy, and RADS finishing one year of Herceptin in June. In December, I tripped and fell and fractured my pelvis...then in June I tripped and fractured my elbow and some ribs...(Sort of clumsy after all this treatment). I had bone density scan and do have low bone density so am taking actonel and calcium...but none of this was a problem before. Just wondered if anyone knows if the drugs I've taken can reduce bone density? I just turned 60 so my age is certainly a factor, but my family history is that these problems don't show up for another 10 years or so.

thanks.
Peggy
