Hi Marina, i had my bone scan a couple of months after finishing treatment, good luck, Jenny, x
Thank you Jenny may. So your scan was 5 years after op? X
Are you talking about bone density scan? As if you are on letrozole you should have had this at the start of treatment, as letrozole can thin the bones, so the will check your bones at the start to see if you need treatment for this as well!
Like Debs1962,I had a bone density early on in my treatment, October 15, I've since had another one and am now taking Andronic acid,as well a a pill for calcium and vitamin D.
I'd ask the question ?
Good luck.xx
