@timely was a bisphosphonate discussed? I took letrozole for 5 years and at the time my endo was concerned about my afib and so he and the oncologist did not protect my bones. I lost a lot of density. Now they tell me there is no longer a concern about Reclast and afib, and I wish I had been on it. I am sensitive to everything and Tymlos rescued me but I could have avoided so much bone loss.

No. This was last June and the NP insisted that Prolia was the only answer for someone with arrythmia and that any other choices would also cause blood clots and strokes. ($5,000 per shot without insurance) and you can never stop taking it. She would put me on Prolia forever.

I had read on the Inspire site of a woman who was 52 and did not get her Prolia infusion on time and then went on to have multiple rib fractures and a total nightmare situation.

I walked out of there and told her no. I felt like I was dealing with someone promoting Prolia and pharmaceuticals....

I realize that I have to address this soon. Have dealt with 2 other health issues in this time span.
