New DX with a lot of Confusion and Stress

You have to do your own research. The drugs fill the wholes but make your bones more brittle. The quality will go down. Research the drugs. Last month they took the black box warning off estrogen. The medical community has failed us. You have to be your own advocate and remember, doctors are trained to treat the symptoms not the cause. It is not their fault. It is all they know.

@dvargo so are you saying no treatment based on the risks after treatment? I thought some of the anabolic options built bone in different way and biphosonates only added to the outer layer. Anyone know that to be true or false?

@dvargo that's why I'm interested in hrt during and after treatment. Frankly, in reading more posts, I'm getting scared to start Evenity as many ppl say they have bad side effects. My husband just battled head and neck cancer and I'm the majority bread winner so we can't afford me to be down and out for days each month. How is anyone supposed to make an informed decision when it seems like we aren't ever told the whole truth about treatments?
