@brightlight66 Your post is very encouraging to me. May I ask how old you are? I'm almost 83 and a little over 2 years out from DCIS breast cancer. I had a lumpectomy with clear margins and clear lymph nodes. I've been on Anastrazole for the 2 years after finishing radiation treatments and really feel like it's aging me! What really caught my interest about your comments is that you are doing AlgaeCal and your osteoporosis numbers have improved. I've recently learned about AlgeCal products and have been doing lots of research about it. I had a baseline dexa-scan after my radiation completed (which showed osteopenia) and am due for the 2 year follow-up scan in Oct. I've already made up my mind that if I'm into osteoporosis I'm not going to do any drug treatment and want to do natural ways of increasing my bone density. My husband and I walk almost every day for 45 minutes using walking poles for extra upper-body workout. I already do Calcium, Vit D, and magnesium but think I'll definitely consider doing AlgaeCal after the dexa scan results are in since it's only a couple months away. Thanks for your encouraging comments.

@sam44 Hi there! I'm 67 and have only been on Anastrozole for one year, but I'm over here fighting osteoporosis with everything I can find. I take AlgaeCal Plus. It's sold alone or as a package with a Strontium Boost which I do not take because I tried it and it caused diarrhea. So I only buy AlgaeCal Plus from Amazon, and you're supposed to take 2 capsules twice per day. For all of last year, I only took it ONCE a day and my Dexa numbers improved. So after this last Dexa just a few weeks ago, I ordered more AlgaeCal Plus and now take it twice a day. I support you in not doing drug treatment as my understanding is once you start, you have to stay on them. Best wishes to you, we're all in this fight together. Power on my friend!!!
