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.

My doctors did not give me bone meds during letrozole. After treatment I did Tymlos and regained everything and more.

I would not do 6 shots of Prolia, myself. I hope you will see an endocrinologist. Most cancer docs I am familiar with use Reclast.
(Or Zometa, same drug.) You could do 2-3 shots with less risk of rebound, according to McCormick recently.

For metastatic cancer, Zometa and the more potent form of Prolia, Xgeva, are used.
