Osteoporosis
Hi I'm 58 and 6 years post diagnosis and 4 yeas post treatment for HER2+ BC. Had chemo and radio plus Herceptin. Had two bone density tests during treatment half way and at end. There were some sign...
Hi @Caibo, I’m due to start Letrozole in about a month, and had a bone density scan a couple weeks ago. Lady was asking me why I was taking the scan, going through different reasons, and I couldn’t understand why. Then I realised she was trying to find a reason to get me the medical rebate. Being postmenopausal is reason enough, so if you are, or are taking Zoladex like me which will cause you to be, you qualify for a rebate. Scan was $160, I got $145 back (but I’m unemployed single mum). So it’s prob a good idea. Good luck Xx
