Zometa (Zoledronic acid), should I take if not on AIs?

I was Diagnosed with ductile carcinoma stage one breast cancer in March. I had the 2cm tumor removed and three lymph nodes. My lymph nodes were clear. My Oncotype test score was a 9 so I didn’t have to do Chemo. I did however do three weeks of radiation and then started on Anastrozole. The side effects of the Anastrozole were so debilitating I had to stop. I’m scheduled to see my Oncologist this week to look at my options . I was wondering if anyone has looked into an Osteopath for treating your breast cancer in addition to the radiation and not taking aromatase inhibitors?

Just found this site. Hoping to connect with others that have had a similar diagnosis.

Hi Beth, I moved your message to this discussion started by @roch who was asking similar questions about bone health when not taking an aromatase inhibitor. @cmd03 @cindylb @tessfair1 @aestongmay also have some experiences to share regarding your questions about seeing an osteopath and options for protecting bone health through radiation and breast cancer treatments.

Beth, did you try any other AI besides anastrozole?
