any others??

hi girls,

I found another lump near my collar bone about 3 weeks ago,, I went for xray and ultrasound, and they have reported that they think its only calcium build up on the bone, A bit strange to me as i am on Arimidex and as my bones were thinning am also on alendrobell, Just wondering if this is a side effect of the medication, seems a bit strange we take medication to help thinning bones and have calcium build up in places. Any thoughts (I am waiting on a response from my specialist).

Regards Moira

    We sure are "guinea pigs" aren't we.  One pill to fix something and then extra pills to fix the side effects.  That's why I hate taking drugs.  My specialist keeps telling me that Arimidex is kee3ping me "safe" but Oh the side effects!!!!!!.  I have never heard of the drug for thinning bones.  Do you walk and do weight bearing exercises??  Maybe something to think about.
