I did my own research and didn't fancy taking a bisphosphonate because of all the digestive problems. I also liked the sound of the Protelos as it builds new bone and slows down the loss of old, it also has very few reported side effects, and I have had no trouble with it. The Consultant Rheumatologist at my local hospital didnt want to give me Protelos because of my age (59), he wanted to give me Evista which I didn't want, and so I got it prescribed by Royal Marsden where I am being treated for my BC. It doesn't seem to be readily prescribed here if you are under 75, but I think if you make enough fuss about the digestive thing (I can't take aspirin or ibuprofen) they give in! I know of a couple of younger women who have been prescribed Protelos at the London Homeopathic Hospital, as they consider it much less harmful than other drugs, and almost view it as alternative medicine.
