Hi I have been managing BC for 1bouot 14 yrs. It was discovered to be metastatic to a vertabrae in late '23. It has been in "sleeping" mode I was told in the last yr. NO increase since the Met. diag. I take half dose of Anastrozole and have had dental surgeries to molars so have only has 2 Zomeda infusions a while back now & my diag. of Osteopenia just last mo. after a Dexa is now showing upwards of 3 to the lower spine and hips. I have another dental sugery pending...and took a NIA dance class last wk & was trying to take it easy, but have a lot of moving of boxes, and house wk from 2 pets...and next thing you know it seems like a sm fracture to a rib from 10 yrs ago flared up w/ I think "The Body keeping score" of all I did in the last 3 wks...So the thing about our bones if we do the right exercises rebuilding I am gather that what you mean by that is unfractured bone rebuilding. I am so nervous abt. this avg. pain in that rib that has been lessening since I have been trying to take it easy & do not think I will do that dance class this wk...What does anyone suggest about how to "rebuild" through exercise? a sm rib fracture that wasn't bothering me until I did this dance movement class called NIA. ? Additionally, I have a tendency for some buldging lower back disc issues if I do bending over doing to much lifting & bending over type things like yard wk .

@rococo325 I had BC when 59. Had chemo and radiation but luckily had not spread. My Dena scan year later was a -3.5 then two years later after being on Actenol it was -3.7. I had to stop meds be cause of side effects. Did no other drugs but very active person. Last year had a compression fracture from lifting. My Dexa was -2.9. It had improved that much without meds in that length of time and aging. Ihsve.been prescribed Tymlos but have to take very low dose which my Endocrinologist is fine with it. Wishing you the best and know you’ll get better in time.
