My cancer is 5 years. It was bilateral early stage, so double mastectomy 5 years ago in May. Started anastozole that June. Waited 6 months to start Prolia to segregate side effects. After that, every six months and hopefully got the last shot in December. In the 6 months without the Prolia, I went full blown osteoporosis. My numbers are good now. Will have a bone density in May. Based on that, I think I will have a discussion about Boniva injections. I had never heard of Zometa. I also take a lot of vitamin D, no calcium. I just have to have a little dairy each day. It’s nutty but I really would prefer to maintain on something that will continue to build bone with the possibility that it would prevent metastasis to bones in the event of a recurrence. I am sure they will discuss the data, but I like the way my endocrinologist thinks and she will weigh in on my bones. Best to you too!
