Just got my official results from my review today. My improvement in density at the spine was actually 9.72% which has me well and truly out of the osteoporosis range. The femoral neck at the hip also improved by 3.76%. I was never in the osteoporosis range for the hip but improvement is really good nevertheless.
The Bone Clinic also do functional tests (which I had improvement in too) with their exercise physiologist and I saw their Dietician to ensure that all areas of bone related health are addressed.
I like this approach to improving my bone density and, for me, it has worked despite being on Femara. For now, I have avoided the need to take Prolia or similar bone medications. Now I just have to keep it up. Never thought I would enjoy (or even ever do) weightlifting but I look forward to my twice weekly sessions! :)
