Being told I have osteo makes me fear life and old age. It is devastating to say the least.
But let me tell you this... being told I have cervical cancer and I am just beginning my fight never made me feel more alive. All the "stuff" just falls away and the value of life never so strong. I am now grateful for every moment and no longer fear the future. How friggin crazy is that?
A fear I do have is when I need chemo they give you high doses of Fosamax... now that jaw rotting side effect, I fear more than my cancer journey.
I hope that they come up with a better treatment for osteo and I hope they begin to tell women that with early menopause there are things you need to consider and do to prevent this terrible condition. I hope they begin the scans earlier for us than when it is already too late.
