I am new on online network. I had an early stage 2 cancer on my left breast, one lymph node involved. No chemotherapy, only radiotherapy and it has been now four and a half years on Arimidex hormone tablets. As I have bone density scan every year and was osteopenia. I had a bone density scan done recently and the recent report shows still my femur osteopenia but spine very close to osteoporosis. I am 55years old.
My oncologist has given me choices to decide myself which treatment to continue, whether to continue Arimidex with some exercise and bone strengthening injections or switch to Tamoxifine. Please need opinions don't know what to do? very confused.
I was given Tamoxifen as my bone density was no good. I have found that the genetic brands Genox 20 has the least side effects for me. when i went onto the tam brand I had lots of side effects. Now the ones I have are controlled easily. Hope this helps
