Is there anyone that had estrogen positive cancer, without use of AI?

If they want Reclast, ask about a test dose of 20% (1mg). Hydrate well and ask for a slow infusion. Then three months later you can have another infusion at a dose you choose. At least that is the protocol my doc is using to lock in my gains from Tymlos.
Jusst to clarify: I did Tymlos 6 years after my diagnosis. My bones did get worse on letrozole. I would have done Reclast, which may also have preventive effects with cancer, but my doc did not want to prescribe due to afib.

Hi- wrote down the Reclast information. The test dose sounds interesting. Possibly to determine side effects?Will definitely mention Reclast to oncologist.Should have been more open minded to drug suggestions and kept in mind that suggestions are made on a individualistic basis.Thank you for sharing and giving me more to think about. Will post after my oncologist appointment.

I have been on Letrozole since Feb 2023 and hanging in (57 yrs, ILC, Lumpectomy, Radiation) and osteopenia has worsened. I see my oncologist in Oct and thinking unless osteoporosis no meds to help bones will be prescribe. I'm fearful of impact on jaw etc but perhaps Tymlos is different.?
