Terrified of Hormone Therapy
Have osestrogen receptor positive breast cancer and now being told need hormone therapy Am post menopausal and being told ARomatase Inhibitors but have osteoporosis in spine being told must have proli...
@Romla OK....so I'm 19 months post chemo, I have ER+ Breast Cancer, this is my 2nd diagnosis in 6yrs a recurrence. I am currently on Aromasin, switched in the last couple of months from Arimidex. I too have Osteoporosis in my spine and I have had 2 prolia injections so far 6 monthly. Hmmm not sure what horror stories you've read? My side effects are tough mostly due to chemo than anything.. BUT I've never felt better honestly. Yes I have joint pain and its impacted by the medication. I work with an Exercise Physiologist and has done wonders for me!
I say, give it all a go, if you feel its no good for you then stop, can't go by what you read or someone elses experience, we all react so differently. I honestly say to you that for me the side effects havent been bad enough for me to stop taking it. Annoying and wears me down at times, yes sure. I was on Tamoxifen for 4yrs with no side effects.
I also take Magnesium, Caltrate in powder form every morning, Vit D/C. Ive gone 3 days without panadol osteo, very odd LOL.
So I say try and make up your own mind, prolia injections are nothing. Hugs Melinda xo
