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

@maymore Thank you! I've considered Raloxifene, but it would worsen my already bad menopause symptoms. Still, it could protect my bones and lower breast cancer risk so I am giving it serious consideration. The last thing I need is a breast cancer diagnosis. Even if caught early and is a low grade most oncologists highly recommend starting an aromatase inhibitor and that's something I really don't want.

@soggybones I’m on Reclast which the cancer center approves because it is known to hinder the metastasis to bone from breast cancer. I had DCIS in 2022. With cancer recurrence never 100% guaranteed, I like the protection. I was unable to tolerate oral bisphosphonate, and appreciate only needing one infusion per year.
I’m 71, was at osteoporosis, now at osteopenia - chances are my bones won’t improve more but doctors are happy with my stable numbers. If you’re younger a bone builder might be considered. I believe Reclast has pretty low side effects for most people.
