Zometa infusions to help prevent bone loss from cancer treatments

I’m very concerned about my bone health after following this post. I started Anastrozole almost 2 yrs ago. No one mentioned to me about bone density meds. Not my oncologist or PCP. Both of them has seen my latest bone density results which have gone from osteopenia to now osteoporosis. I’m very concerned now why they haven’t recommended meds. When did was bone density med prescribed when you started Anastrozole? TIA

No one mentioned it to me either, until my oncologist retired and I started seeing my husbands wonderful oncologist. He said geez I sure would hate to see you get a compression fracture and after I had an accident and everything broke two years before. It seemed like my pcp would have picked up on it. Thanks be to Mayo trained doctors!
You will need to advocate for yourself in this. If your doctor won’t listen, I would humbly suggest a second opinion might be in order. Maybe this drug isn’t right for you, but pretending there is no problem certainly can’t be the best plan for you either.
