Medication side effects

Hi brave bunny , as you are on anastrozole are you also on anything bone strengthening ? I was on alendronic acid after a bone scan , but reflux and dental problems meant I stopped it . Have you had a bone scan ? Sorry to hear this postpones your surgery , better safe than sorry , one day at a time and cry if you need to ....x

Thank you so much for your reply . I am not on any bone strengthening agents like alendronic acid - just the anastrozole . Was it the bone strengthening agent that you had to stop? X

Yes , “ bone strengthening med” but I was also told , and I don’t know if this right , but it reduces secondary spread to bone, by 18% as there are no “ holes “ in bones ...anyway , I am taking that risk at the moment as the reflux burnt my oesophagus , so painful .....

also my GP says that alendronic acid works to strengthen some bones , but can produce small cracks in the surface of hips .....seems every drug to keep us alive has side effects !  Best wishes. X

Gosh it sounds like you had a tough time with it . You're right though none of the drugs have no side effects . Thank you for your support. Sending good wishes Take care x
