Hi @ Sam08 Can't help with radium but am on Letrozole and Denusomab - trade names Femara and Prolia. Whilst only been on them 3 weeks can share this my gp has said has several patients on Prolia - injection 6 monthly to build bone - and very rarely any side effects. There are side effects with Femara including bone thinning which is why you have probably been recommended Prolia.Femara is an aromatase inhibitor for post menopausal women to prevent recurrence .Apparently the two drugs work well together and my oncologist said Prolia has the additional benefit it further reduces chance of recurrence.Prolia is expensive $275 ? unless on PBS where it is $38 every 6 months.Prolia is on PBS if over 70 or had a fracture due to osteoporosis Hope this helps a bit and sending you hugs.
