@Primek I think I was honestly just focusing on the result which I shared, I welcome opinions absolutely, but I think people may not have realised the story behind it and why it was good news for my individual case. It did take away from a little joy and win that I felt for the first time in 3yrs. Kath, I have been lucky in that I have only been with my Oncologist for 3yrs since 2nd diagnosis, so not my whole 7yr path. Our appointment last week was the first one where I walked out with a respect for him, for his knowledge and his expertise. He has always been brutally direct and a no nonsense approach which I value, there is NO sugar coating with him and I have found it hard in the past. Everything he talked of made complete sense, it was hard to hear his opinion of my previous diagnosis and the handling possibly of it.
I think I am very misunderstood and others seem to miss the parts in all my posts where I have said, I exercised heavily prior to 1st diagnosis, after that and pre 2nd diagnosis. The minute I finished chemo I had a very LONG HARD recovery, thankfully I had an Exercise Physiologist who I cannot praise enough that I worked with for over a year. I exercise NOW! am rigorously active in my job also. I have ALWAYS been PRO exercise for many reasons...seems some only hear a certain part of what Ive said in relation to this.
I know the value of weight bearing exercises, and building into it now, I actually did body building in my late teens early 20's so I know all about it, I even still have my weightlifting belt. LOL and it fits ;)
I also dont attribute my good results to JUST Prolia, I have worked DAMN HARD!
I've been on medications for 7yrs, 4yrs on Tamoxifen and 3yrs on Arimidex/Aromasin, did that impact my bone density prior to chemo, possibly. So yes I'm proud of what Ive achieved :)
