Hi Sooz.. this next phase of treatment is quite daunting weighing up the risks. I agree with arpie. The Recent BCNA webcast on Endocrine Therapy was very helpful. I think you can replay it by registering on the site. If you’re going onto Aromatase Inhibitors
a bone density check prior to starting may be helpful.
I developed osteopenia in my first round. Im now on my second lot
with my second cancer and the Onc added a six monthly injection of Prolia to prevent any bone loss.
The key to your treatment is your pathology report. Hormone therapy for we who are hormone positive is to ensure all the cancer cells have been silenced! It is life saving. With good care and monitoring
any side effects can be managed. I just want to say.. “it’s all Ok”
we are called to jump off the deep end.. and find we can fly..
Your treating team are with you, family and friends and we fellow travellers at BCNA. .. Go gently.. Wishing you the best in this next phase of treatment decisions.
