I ended up in hospital on a holiday to Spain January 25th 2022 with pulmonary embolism and docs there said it was Anastrozole and bisphosphonate, thst I was taking at the time that caused the clots. My oncologist, when I returned home, said totally untrue but never put me back
On the bisphosphonate!! That’s another reason I got rid of him as my oncologist

That must have been terrible to happen on your holiday! My dr says raloxifine has a better record as far as bone loss goes, which is one of the reasons I am considering it. The other AI’s are known for causing osteoporosis. If you are on bisphosphonates and Anastrozole are you having side effects? I do worry about taking meds with the same or similar side effects. I take simvastatin as well and haven’t had a problem with it.
