Hello ladies! I don't post on here much anymore ,but I wanted to share something with you tonight:)I am almost 4 years post mastectomy and chemo,and 3 years since my advanced osteoporosis diagnosis.Since my osteo diagnosis,I have tried really hard to exercise EVERY day,eat all the things that are supposed to help me,and I have had prolia injections.I have also taken supplements that I have chosen myself,after doing a lot of reading.Today ,2 years since my last bone density test,I had another one done.My results are astounding!! I no longer have osteoporosis,only osteopenia!! The doctor said that my results are awesome, given that my osteoporosis was advanced!! I am so rapt tonight ,and I feel that my hard work has really helped.I hope that maybe there are other ladies with similar results reading the network tonight...you can change things ladies,I have proved it!!! Cheers Robyn xox

Good news is bloody great news! So glad to hear there is hope. Marg xxx

Oh that's fantastic news. Well done.

That's amazing Robyn, all your hard work has paid off. Such great news, inspires me not to give up! Jane xx

Congratulations- worth bragging about!

Robyn that's FANTASTIC!!! I also have Osteoporosis thanks to Chemo and am on Prolia injections. I also take supplements and am exercising, it's been a year since my bone density test. I must admit I'm curious too to see what my next one looks like! though I don't know when I'd have another bone density?? Melinda xo

If you are on prolia they will call you for a bone density every 2 years

Would be keen to hear about supplements people undergoing hormone therapy are taking and why.Or where I can learn about it.Also types of exercise those with osteoporosis undertake as am at high risk of fractures

Hello all, just thought I might jump in to mention that BCNA also have a fact sheet on Bone Health available to download or order online, which might be helpful :smile:
