On Exemestane. 8 years out this November. So far no recurrence. Stage 2 b, 2 positive nodes.
I am having a hip replacement in two weeks and just recently diagnosed with osteopetrosis.

Cathy - Hope your hip replacement goes well and that you soon will be back to normal activities. As to the osteopetrosis, it's my understanding that, unlike osteoporosis, it is an inherited condition (and not due to being on an AI for 8 years). Is that your understanding, too?

Oh no, I'm sorry you're having to go through the surgery - all the best to you for a successful and fast recovery! Have the doctors talked with you about Zometa infusion for your osteoporosis? Aromatase inhibitors decrease estrogen in the body which can cause this. I've had 3 infusions so far, 6 months apart, to help.
