I am 81 and I can not afford to lose any more bone--I am not taking the pill the more
I hear about it. Fosamax never ! affects the retina in your eyes, that is really not a good
pill. If you read about it, you will see. I already get shots in my eyes every 5 weeks. your damned
if you do and damned if you don't. I think I have to gamble. my spine and bones are bad, my
eyes are bad, I just want quality of life, I don't want to feel sick or have more problems.
I have the same feelings as you. The doctor said I have a 10% of it coming back. this one took
9 years to the day. they both are estrogen related.

We have tough choices with these unfortunate health issues.
I worry about MBD now 7 mos. On Aromatase. I will have a DEXA at one year( insurance usually only pays every two years) just to see if I’m sliding downhill.
Did you take AI meds 9 years ago and still had recurrence? Did you have a lumpectomy then and radiation instead?
Best to you on your journey. It certainly is important to protect bones for quality of life in the years ahead. 🌸
