Weight lifting - bone scans improved in one year!

I do drop jumps as described in the below video. But starting off more gently with heel drops etc is the safer way. Building bone in the femoral neck is the hardest, and impact exercise seems to be the only way to do it. I also use WBV on my non-gym days. Lots of other discussions about WBV on this site. My model was recommended by a doctor's office and

I’ve taken a couple of containers, did fine in coffee,but now I want to ask my primary care doc about it It’s not that it’s bad by itself, but I’ve been reading articles that said women with dense breasts might find that collagen makes scans harder to read because of how it adheres and blocks things. I might be overthinking it, but I’d feel better if she looked into it too because the Internet’s full of tiny studies.

@debraran That's interesting so I did some research. Here's one article I found that summarizes: "Studies reveal that dense or disorganized collagen around tumors can contribute to cancer cell migration. However, this refers to natural tissue collagen, not dietary supplements. There’s no direct evidence that taking collagen orally causes these structural changes."

Thanks, it's a little disconcerting. I know my sister who had breast cancer had the estrogen receptive type but my mom didn't. My mom lived to 97 but never was tested for gene, my sister was and negative. (although I swear they find new gene tests daily) This article made me think of finishing the rest of collagen but not daily, a few times a week. My doctor said sadly, although very healthy right now, my breasts didn't get less dense after menopause. I need an ultrasound done at the same time. Another part of article:
Current evidence does not show that collagen supplements increase the risk of breast cancer. Collagen plays a natural structural role in breast tissue, but supplements do not appear to trigger or promote cancer. However, collagen’s interaction with breast density, estrogen levels, and the tumor microenvironment remains under scientific review. Individuals with hormone-sensitive conditions or BRCA mutations should consult a healthcare professional before use.
And from this site, some women are blaming it on cancer but who knows if they never took it, would it be the same? You can't comment on that, with all the stress of diagnosis you always look for something.
