Hi
Wow reading your story I can't believe they neglect by physicians. I myself have osteopenia and have a fracture in my spine t7 which I have been on bisphosphonates going on 3 years which my bone density has come up greatly in my spine I just finished radiation for breast cancer luckily I only had to do 15 rounds and my oncologist is just putting me on 5 mg of tamoxifen for 3 years no way in God's earth when I touch and AI. I feel for you. Also I had a bone density last year and my oncologist wanted to see that and I have another one this April next week. I live in Canada

I had osteopaenia at the outset of b.c. Treatment. My bone density declined from -1.4T to -2.2T during my treatment for breast cancer. I have to wait until May for a new bone scan, or Medicare won’t cover it. I am also a Type 2 diabetic.
