Re: Chemo and bone loss questions


Hi Bird
I'd do some research on what estrogen does for a "male" body. I see
that you're estrogen receptor positive and on tamoxifin. I always assumed
that the bone loss women experience is because of the loss of estrogen ...
I didn't associate it with the actual chemotherapy. Good luck with all of
this Oh Rare One.
