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, SueProlia iv
Hi all, have recently been changed from Tamoxifen to arimidex because of ongoing gynae issues. My gp suggested I have a bone density scan as a baseline. Turns out I already have osteoporosis in lumbar spine. He is keen for me to have an iv drip of prolia. Anybody else gone down this track please, and what were side effects? It really is one thing after another , isn't it. Hugs to all out there, x
