If planning to take Prolia to reduce bone thinning (when on Letrozole) you may wish to discuss the following with your oncologist. I’m in the last year (tenth) of Letrozole treatment and have some osteopoenic areas.

If I was much younger and osteopoenic at the start of treatment, I’d probably have a different response. The info is from Prolia’s online information.
Increased risk of broken bones, including broken bones in the spine, after stopping, skipping or delaying Prolia®. Talk with your doctor before starting Prolia® treatment. After your treatment with Prolia® is stopped, or if you skip or delay taking a dose, your risk for breaking bones, including bones in your spine, is increased. Your risk for having more than 1 broken bone in your spine is increased if you have already had a broken bone in your spine. Do not stop, skip or delay taking Prolia® without first talking with your doctor. If your Prolia® treatment is stopped, talk to your doctor about other medicine that you can take.
Best wishes.
