Chemo is notorious for being a bone robber… I wasn’t even classified as osteopenic before my battle with leukemia and the bone marrow transplant. Just one year later, after all the chemo I was shocked to be diagnosed with osteoporosis. My doctors told me it was a direct result of the chemo and a side effect from the transplant.
But, it’s one of those risks we have to take to buy extra time for ourselves. Without treatment I wouldn’t be here. A trade worth taking.
I found this informational blog regarding bone loss and cancer treatments.
