Cheers to your Mom for her survivor-ship of breast cancer AND zip lining : ) Awesome !
Thank you for taking so much time.View Thread

As you have been in this business for a long time, can you help me understand why these meds have such a reputation ? I realize any response you may give is sharing your observations but I feel that your input is very valuable.
Is it the side effects of the meds ? Is it that they don't have good outcomes ? Is it just fear ?
Thank you Bonebabe.View Thread


I am wondering how you feel after your injections.... if you have any negative, lasting symptoms ? My doc has recommended it to me but I am concerned.
Thanks so much !View Thread

Indications: Breast Cancer, Chemotherapy, Family History of Fracture - femur, Menopause, No HRT, Post meopausal, Radiation, and Aromasin for 5 years (completed Feb/ 2011)
Prior DEXA 11/2008- T 2.0, Recent DEXA: 7/2012 -T 2.3
My oncologist wants me to go on IV Reclast immediately.
My endocrinologist wants me not to go on meds yet but do yoga and pilates and continue with 1,500 calcium and 2,500 Vit D3 which I have been religious about taking.
I have great concern after reading many posts on WebMD regarding the infusion of Reclast and the nightmares that "some" have had. I am familiar with infusions and once they are administered, there's no going back. For this reason, and the fact that I am very sensitive to drugs, I believe I prefer an oral med at maybe once a month. However, I really don't know what to do so I am writing you. I have valued your clarity in description and your balance in perspective. What are your suggestions ? Thank you, in advance.View Thread
