Re: Osteoporosis

Hi Amanda,
I also have osteoporosis and was prescribed HRT which I'm sure contributed to my bc diagnosis. I have been on biphosphonates for 10 years. First Fosamax, then infusions of Zometa either annually or bi-annually depending on amount of bone loss. It has kept me reasonably stable but I know that i can't stay on it forever. Forteo is an option if you haven't had radiation. It would be worth asking your onc about this drug. I think that denosumab is only available on PBS (I'm an Aussie too) for women over 70 or those with bone mets but your onc may be able to get it for you.
Best wishes,
Emily
