Bisphosphonates
Hi, I've been away for a while. Wondering about the safety of taking Bisphosphonates and can't get a straight answer from my endocrinologist. She wants me to take Fosamax. Fearful of the side effects since I've have chemo and Herceptin, plus radiation. Could I experience a long bone fracture? I have osteoporosis is both of my wrists and osteopenia in my spine. I had both of my hips replaced so they can't be scanned.
Anyone successfully taking these drugs? any negatives?
Your thoughts are appreciated.
