@Sister it is interesting, Dr De Boer told me 3yrs ago that Prolia works in conjunction with an AI and gives added protection, my Surgeon told me the same thing, so it's obviously something well known among the medical profession. I've always communicated the side effects to the Oncologist but he's never offered a solution, other than don't take it and yes unfortunately there are side effects. He explained how the AI works and in conjunction with an an unnatural menopause enhances the side effects. So Im wondering anyone out there who was already well into menopause and was put on an AI and if there is minimal side effects??
I do believe and I know this for me, it is a combination of chemo, unnatural menopause and an AI thrown in that causes my pain side effects. However, increased levels in the liver, cholesterol and blood pressure are all attributed to the AI. Not to mention WEIGHT GAIN which is horrendous!!! and NO helpful information from the Oncologist!!!
