I was just recently diagnosed last week with IDC and my first visit to surgeon Olay Moffitt in Tampa is August 7.
I am totally overwhelmed by all this and the waiting waiting waiting to be seen is insane.
Tymlos returned me to spinal bone density that is better than when I started letrozole. I had a 20% gain in spine which is miraculous- from severe osteoporosis to borderline -2.5. Hip gain was 9% up to -2.9. However femur neck is still -3.6, up from -4.1. Tymlos is better with spine than hip. I was able to get on it by ramping up the dose: the pen comes with clicks that measure dose. Next step is Reclast but doc is infusing only a 20% dose to test my tolerance and kidneys
reaction. I am also working with a nephrologist.
Thanks for asking. My kids cannot get over how much strong I am and I walked 10 miles two days in a row with my daughter in Brooklyn!
