Hi @SueKat,
I have been on these injections for the last 4 years intially every 4 weeks and now every 6 weeks,, my bone density has gone from osteoporosis to osteopenia meaning that its gotten better, I dont do anything special, I do take vitamin d, calcium and magnesium daily, oral care is very important and it would be a good idea to have a complete dental check up prior to going on the injections, you have to tell the dentist you will be going on this drug as its very important that they know.I have had a filling and one extraction whilst on these injections, for the extraction I had to stop the injections for three months, but ultimately they are doing me good no side effects that I can think of and they certainly are helping with the metasteses in my spine, all drugs have side effects and we may get some or none, a lot of ladies are on this drug and have had good results, hope this helps you,I am lucky that the community nurse comes to my home and gives me the injection, it doesnt hurt,
however just check about the cost as I have metastatic breast cancer I get it on the pbs, so check to see if your dr will put that on your script,
