I am terrified of Reclast (endocrinologist) suggested as I have Chrohns' and may not fully absorb Zometa. I am 58 yrs, thin and one year into Letrozole after ILC which has put me into osteoporosis. I also will need a root canal/crown and in general am worried about the side effects of these bio-phophates. My doc thinks I am too much at risk for spine fractures but I may punt and risk even lower bone density. Has anyone been okay with fractures not going on these drugs.? xo

I am sorry you are going through this. Look for posts from Windyshores. She is on this site to help encourage others to get treatment because fractures can be so bad. I am right there with you afraid but trying to make the right decision on treatment. Look up the book Grrat Bones. This doctor had several fractures and took forteo years ago and is fine now.
