Hello lovely ladies! Calling for a pep talk! I'm about to start taking my tamoxifen for the first time. It feels like a big step - such a long-term change / commitment (10 yrs+). Aside from the 'n...

I take Prolia injections twice a year, yes it lists all sorts of side effects, Im into my 2nd year on them now and apart from feeling a little off for a few days I have had no side effects. I also do stay on top of my Dental Health, but there's never been an issue. Unfortunately Prolia are only free if you are over 70 years of age. STUPID!!! So my injections cost $275.00 and I get $153.85 back from my health fund, so not too bad really.
Weight bearing as Romla has said is most key...my bone density after chemo was shocking! with Osteoporosis in my lower back and neck. I don't anticipate for the next bone density to be worse at all, so will be interested to see with everything Ive done as to how things are looking now. I'll be honest I wouldnt have known I had Osteoporosis, it's silent...I dont even think about it, there's nothing that I don't do.
Vitamin D is the only way to boost your levels thats why its generally the only thing the Oncologist gets you on immediately post chemo.
I'm 5.5 years now on combined Tamoxifen which stopped working at 4yrs and I had a recurrence and 1.5yrs on Arimidex switched to Aromasin and honestly, my symptoms now are very bearable. I don't put any thought into any of it now...the only focus I really have is hmmm well Im doing all the things theyve said to do..so I focus on other things such as enjoying life and making plans. :) xx
