I also had osteoporosis, pretty severe, and did 5 years of an aromatase inhibitor (letrozole). Most doctors I have had contact with use Reclast during treatment.

Prolia works well while you take it but there is a rebound problem. If you don't follow it with Reclast you lose whatever you gained and fracture risk goes up. If you are on Prolia for only 2-3 shots this is apparently less of a problem.

Do you have an endocrinologist or is your oncologist managing this?

I do not have an endocrinologist.

Windyshores, may I ask, did your osteoporosis improve? Stabilize? I’m wishing I’d had an involved PCM or endocrinologist pre-Cancer, while still “just” osteopenia! I’m scared of osteoporosis honestly more than the early breast cancer. Do you have any recommendations on what to do in prep for Prolia? Thanks either way.
