My endocrinologist never mentioned anything g but Fosamax or Reclast to start! He is very well respected at MGH-Boston so I wonder why he never mentioned the bone builders you mention?!!

@semurrye I am sure your endo knows what they are doing 🙂

Reclast, Zometa and Fosamax all might have protective effects with cancer.

They are used to combat bone loss with aromatase inhibitors but triple negative cancers aren't on those meds. That is why I said I did not know about bone meds for TNBC.

And your bones may not be bad enough to need bone builders,

I "misspoke" above and meant to say that in general bone builders are suggested before bisphosphonates but in the context of TNBC, I would trust your oncologist and endocrinologist and apologize for not being clear.
