I had hair thinning but was only able to take it three months . I would not worry till you try the medication because some people do well on it . And not everyone suffers the side effects . I suffered almost all and my quality of life made me rethink treatment called preventative. I decided I wasn’t ready for a nursing home at 64

Had my check up yesterday with my oncologist post radiation and 5 weeks on femura. Radiation was a non event. (I didn't have chemo). Biggest complaint is joint/bone pain. Doc said some patients level out and their pain is better after a few months on the drug. He believes femura has less side effects than others and he is reluctant to change me to one of the others.
