I have tried nothing so far until I am done with radiation, the ones you mentioned he said
are not good for the bones. My cancer was estrogen related. I don't know which way I am going
till after I have had my radiation, maybe nothing and just live my life. I am just not good
on medicine.

@marcia115 I already had osteoporosis but took aromatase inhibitors, not tamoxifen, because they are said to be more effective, though I don't know the exact difference in effectiveness. Most of us post-menopausal women take aromatase inhibitors even though a lot of us have potential or real bone density issues. Maybe your bone density loss is severe already?

Sometimes we just need time to figure out the best way forward. I’m sure you will get good advice and second options are helpful as well.
