Hi, I was told I had osteoporosis in May 2018. My scores were: Femur neck: T score -1.1, Z score -0.1 Spine: T score -2.5 Z score -1.4 Looking at the charts, my interpretation is that my hip is just in the osteopenia range and my spine just in the osteoporosis range.

Antioxidants

Doctor wants me to start Alendronic Acid.

Hi all, had a bad couple of weeks, started when I tried to reduce my Pred for the first time down to 12.5mg from 15mg, after the first week I was feeling rotten by the 2nd week back to where I was last November when diagnosed. Phoned doctors who put Pred back up to 15mg and ordered bloods. 2 days laterHi all, had a bad couple of weeks, started when I tried to reduce my Pred for the first time down to 12.5mg from 15mg, after the first week I was feeling rotten by the 2nd week back to where I was last November when diagnosed.

Just been told I have to have another infusion . My first one was in Oct 2019 . Told my bone markers are still low. Anyone else experienced this as I thought these infusions were yearly for 3 years .?Just been told I have to have another infusion . My first one was in Oct 2019 . Told my bone markers are still low.

So angry and I decided to write my frustrations out and seek help from all of you. My husband sees Dr Oh at Mount Sinai. Did bone scan and CT scan friday. 5 docetaxel treatments to date but he had a PSA increase past 2x's (.5 and again 1.5.) Dr Oh suggested adding carboplatin for number 6.

Blooming bleeding.

Hi I would appreciate if others could share how they deal with regular lung bleeds. This morning it occurred again, around 10ml coughed up, but I did swallow some. It seems to be every ten days or so and lasts a few days. The most was 60ml or so.
