@colleenyoung Thank you for your helpful information and the links. Regarding bioidentical hormones and osteoporosis treatment. This was my first dive into the bio. hormones and it truly makes sense that they would be in conflict while taking an aromatase inhibitor. The only bisphosphonate I took was Risedronate. Reclast was suggested, but not knowing if I'd have an unwanted reaction I didn't want an injectable in my system for three months. My endocrinologist agreed with my decision to stop the Risedronate. She did say she had patients who'd taken AlgaeCal with good results. I do need to run that by the medical oncologist, at the suggestion of the dietician since in addition to a generally healthy diet, I also take some supplements. My upcoming oncology appointment will include labs (I've been keeping a diary of my food intake) so he can give me some good input before I see the endocrinologist a couple of weeks later. My 2 year DEXA isn't until mid November but I am exploring options prior to those appointments and I am willing to eliminate some of my present supplements as needed, if the AlgaeCal seems to be a good fit for bone strengthening. I do exercise which includes light weights in addition to walking 2-3 times per week.
