Prolia (Denosumab) Injections for osteoporosis
Dear Online community, I'm after more thoughts on treatment for osteoporosis. I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer July 2017. My type is oestrogen receptor positive. So, I was put on Letrozole straight away, had a lumpectomy, chemo & radiotherapy. Last mammogram clear, so all good. However, I now have osteoporosis. I'm taking calcium & vitamin D, but my oncologist is looking into 6 monthly injections of Prolia (Denosumab) to reduce the risk of fractures (particularly in the hip). I've looked at the possible side effects & some look awful!!! Anyone experienced these injections & any related side effects? Cheers, Sue
