I was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2016. When having a breast MRI and lying on my stomach, I broke a rib. The doctors firstly established that I didn't have bone mets, then said I was almost certainly osteoporotic. This was confirmed with a bone density scan after chemo and before starting letrozole. I've subsequently had another two rib fractures, different ribs, and without a fall or blow to the chest. I have prolia injections six monthly and my bones have now stabilised. The only problem I've had, is that about two full days after the injection, I get a migraine type headache, which I never usually suffer from. My doctor has said that some people get a delayed reaction to some drugs and that may be it. I just take two paracetemol and lie in a darkened room for a few hours, and it passes.
