Breast cancer patient also with osteoporosis: AI, Prolia and Reclast

Hi there
I’m 2 yrs into anastrazole for stage 1 bc. Zometa was part
Of my treatment and I have osteopenia. I did 3 infusions
Every 6 mos. They are not easy, but I did request extra fluid and took Tylenol so it was bearable. I work with weights 3x a week and so far I’m doing well. I’d love to try hrt but oncologist isn’t for it yet.

@sherrilei Did you have osteoporosis before going on an AI? I have osteoporosis now and I'm trying HRT for my osteoporosis and menopause symptoms. I'm already at a 20% risk of breast cancer and I'm told a 4 year course of HRT won't increase my risk. I'm just wondering what women with osteoporosis do if they end up developing estrogen + breast cancer. The AI's really weaken your bones.

@sherrilei I am not understanding why you are thinking you should take HRT if you have estrogen positive breast cancer. I understand they have said it doesn’t increase your risk but if you already have breast cancer that is driven by estrogen, I would think HRT would be off the table.
I am curious if your doctor thought you could avoid the risk of recurrence and still take it?
