Bisphosphonates

Hi, I had surgery in August, radiotherapy early October and e first bisphosphonate late October, after a bone density scan. Hope that helps 

Hi I had surgery  chemo  then Herceptin then bi annual bisphosphonate infusions 

X7 so about 18 month gap . 

Hi

I finished Radiotherapy in June and began in July. I have daily tablet not infusions as had allergy to one of my chemo's and said ITF allergic would be easier to stop tablets. So far all ok. I had a dexa scan before I started all my treatment. Good luck hon xx

Sorry should say If not ITF oops x

That does help 

thank you

Thanks Margaret , that’s helpful xx

Hi Jane 

Thank you  . I didn’t know you could have tablets , I’m sorry you had a reaction to chemo , I’m glad you are able to have the tablets and great all is ok

I have a weekly tablet of Alendronic acid. My first oncologist didn't believe I had osteoporosis even though dexa scans said I had it. Surgery Dec, radiotherapy in Feb, started Bisphosphonates end October. Each oncologist works in a different way I feel. There is a limit to what we and they can respond to at any given moment. Thankfully it all works out in the end. 9 mths on hormone blockers is a trial, one I have to work out how to live with. 

Hi Sabrina 

imagine not believing you had osteoporosis! Hormone blockers are something else , I’m not used to them at all yet although I’m hoping I finally have found the brand I can tolerate more than the others I have experienced 

All the best to you xx
