Re: Osteoporosis
Hi Amanda
I was dx at 39 and developed osteoporosis from chemo induced menopause, since I'm triple positive I was commenced on an AI and 6 monthly zometa but unfortunately my BMD dived another 11% and I had to stop hormone therapy - I had low hormone receptors and Onc thought SE of further BMD loss outweighed the benefit.
My period returned at the 2 yr mark and I ceased the zometa after 4 doses, my last Dexa scan still showred osteoporosis despite being premenopausal and zometa but there was no
further BMD loss which was good.
I'm not sure my post is very helpful but 6 monthly zometa really didn't increase my BMD at all, I also take calcium and high dose of vit d and do a weights program and run at the gym.
I will have another Dexa scan in 6 months and hoping for an improvement this time.
