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

@phonso I took prolia for a few years without a single issue. My doctor told me ahead of time that I needed to keep my calcium up and stay hydrated.
Honestly this forum can bring so much encouragement and support, but it can be a double edged sword. The people who do the most posting are the people who are having trouble, that doesn’t mean that everyone has issues with these treatments. I hope this can put into perspective how much anxiety you can get when you only hear from the people having side effects. The people who don’t have any issues just aren’t here posting.
I have definitely felt that treating my bones is very important because a broken hip or a broken back can be the thing you don’t recover from. Side effects from some of these drugs and the lack of estrogen has been a drag but I can and do live with it, and the time it buys me with my loved one is worth it.
I have also taken zometa, as has my husband with zero side effects.
Have you had any issues with the prolia?
What specifically concerns you about your treatment?

@auntieoakley I don't think I have had issues, it's more of what might happen that causes the anxiety along with the thought of being between a rock and a hard place. It's is doubly hard since I am experiencing the issues that Anastrozole causes, especially joint pain and the nearly identical issues that are mentioned with Prolia. So, not sure Prolia or Anastrozole are the culprit. Sometimes the joint pain is so intense that I consider stopping one or the other or both at any given time.
