Hi, I’m on Raloxifene and may need to go on Reclast or Prolia. Both my oncologist ( I’m taking Raloxifene to reduce breast cancer risk and for the modest bone benefit) and my endocrinologist both said I would not have to stop Raloxifene because the treatment mechanisms are different.

Thank you Christy for your information. Raloxifene was also recommended to me for reducing breast cancer risk (but my Internist was only comfortable prescribing it for osteoporosis). That is why I don't wish to go off of it for a few more years. My situation isn't textbook however, because my parathyroid lab level is hovering over normal value. I will now call their Cancer Center Patient Library and ask to have my Endocrinologist's position fact checked. Thank you again.
