Same situation, basically, with many options for bone strenghtening medications. In my case, in conjunction with AI for breast cancer and bone density concerns. Several months until I need to make a semi-final decision for the course for the next few - or more - years. The more I read, the more I need to learn.
However: 1 simple survey of people of medicare age: anybody have any price info? SURE, price/cost is not foremost in my mind, but I do not have the faintest clue what either of those treatments would cost, and it might sway me toward a combination of less disruptive, less side effects, and the least expensive of those that fit the bill. I know from experience that prescribing physicians as a rule do not have the faintest idea what the drugs that they prescribe actually cost. Oncologist here was more tuned in, but still.........
Again: not looking for the lowest cost of anything, but getting some rough idea what 5 years of drugs (cheap, $ 5.00/30 days as long as I can tolerate the letrozole), but proposed infusions or injections to slow osteoporosis is not easily found.
