Finally got an appointment w/ another oncologist. He spent the time w/ me explaining estrogen levels in regard to my taking Anastrozole. He went over my bone density current test as well the summary I wrote up of my history of bone density tests, do he could easily see the numbers snd changes. I felt he was thorough and concertos me. He recommended options & recommended Zometa infusion. I will have my first one today 9/1. Thanks to this group & forum I went into my appointment with more knowledge snd could ask knowledgeable questions. Thank you all. Blessings

Yay! I am so glad you are finally get some help for bone loss. These issues are related to our breast cancer and we need to be able to turn to our doctors for help. Good job advocating for yourself. 😍

I have been on Anastrozole since February 2020. I am now doing OK after some problems in the beginning. My last bone density test showed osteoporosis. I have had osteopenia for many years. My oncologist now wants me to start Zometa. Someone suggested that I have BTM (Bone Turnover Marker) testing done. Have any of you had this test?
