Diagnosed with DCIS: How do I decide on treatment?

I already had pretty advanced osteoporosis when I went on Femara, and didn't fracture during those 5 years of treatment. I am now on Tymlos. Many go on a bisphosphonate during AI treatment but my doc didn't want me on it due to another health issue. If you can take Reclast that protects bones.

Side effects aren't bad for many of us (but respect those who do have bad ones).

Thank you, I have a family history of osteo. My aunt took Foxamax (back in the day, lol) and my Mom took another type for bone strength. They both had side effects, so I’ll just see what my Oncologist suggests. I suppose all meds have something. 🤗
