Thank you. Well said.
Bone loss is a huge concern for me. Unlike you I am going on at a half dose for 2.5 years if I can tolerate the drug. At 62 bone loss is a driver in the decision. Also researching enzymes, supplements that will stop estrogen creation without an AI

The osteoporosis topic threads here are also very worthwhile. There is some comparing of supplements that people have found valuable in addition to the standard calcium/D3/K2 recommendations. Some are taking collagen, yet alone 5 kinds (about which I know zip). And a few have added boron to their protocol. I think the coolest thing though is the writers here using vibratory therapy. And it sounds like fun to me too, lol. I'll do anything to not have to watch my inner scaffolding become untrustworthy. I now think of grocery-lugging as weight bearing exercise and resent it less.

I also hope to make it through to 2.5 - 3 years if I can on anastozole/Armidex. Given the higher percentage of new primary cancer for those of us who already have the BC, it seems very worth the try. So even if our current BC has been "cured" by surgery and radiation, which for most of us who are early stage it has, the estrogen blocker will lower the risk of a new unrelated occurrence. What AI are you on, and what does your oncologist say about taking half the dose--every other day or splitting? Does it relieve the SEs at all?
