Breast cancer treatment and osteoporosis

2/24. I’m wondering how old posts are on here because Prolia is being used and it was just announced that it was not a good medication to take anymore. I know last year in 11/23 I was told I could take Reclast infusion or Prolia or Fosamax. I opted for Fosamax but caused horrible stomach pains and bone pain so stopped it. Now I’m thinking of Zometa, will discuss with my primary.

Please keep us posted on what you learn about Zometa from your doctor. My endocrinologist didn't recommend but would have deferred to my oncologist if she felt strongly. Fosamax seems to be first line treatment but with stomach pains it sounds like infusion would be better. Good luck! I just started Fosamax yesterday as Letrozole put me deep into osteoporosis at 58 yrs old and only one year into the AI. xoox
My doctor prescribed reclast just for this reason because Fosamax can upset a tummy if you already have digestion issues
Did you decide to go with Zometa? I just started Fosamax and the ILC breast cancer meds, Letrozole put me into osteoporosis after only 1 year. I could have chosen IV infusion, Reclast but Fosamax seemed to have somewhat fewer side effects although I think not as easily absorbed.
Thanks for sharing! xo

I was prescribed one of the biophosphanates because I am borderline osteoporosis, but I did not take them and I'm glad I didn't, because I'm in the middle of a dental implant and that question was asked me by the oral surgeon and the dentist repeatedly before okaying me for the dental implant (which I needed because the #4 tooth, upper right, split below the gum line and had to be removed in pieces.
