Broken ankle
i broke my ankle between ending chemo and commencing radiation. Am now on Fermara. Did anyone else have bone density issues from bc treatment. Ortho says he thinks bones weakened by chemo. Still...
Thanks @Romla and welcome @Teejay I also as a result of chemo and having been on Tamoxifen for 4yrs as I had a recurrence, had bone density issues. My bone density scan post treatment showed Osteoporosis in my neck and lower back. I've been on Vitamin D since January 2016 post treatment and magnesium in water daily. I have Prolia injections 6 monthly to help with this too. They do recommend weight bearing exercises to help build muscle which helps the bones too. I have a scan in 6 months and will know if its improved.
I also use an Exercise Physiologist but it is finishing in 2 weeks, its been amazing and its more the stretching exercises it hasnt been hard and fast at all, Im not capable anymore, but the exercises help alot!
