Calcium D3 Gummies
Hi all, I made a decision not to take any medication, Fosomax etc, for osteopenia, even though my doctor wanted me to start. All your feedback was very helpful in confirming my decision. I talked in length worh my pharmacist, who agreed wirh my decision and recommended D3 and Calcium to start. I bought

kyphosis
Ended up in hospital twice for pain control for two
fractures
in my pelvis and a badly fractured sacrum. I also have a fractured vertebrae at t3 which I have no idea how it happened.

Hi, I am a month away from completing my initial treatment (external beam and brachytherapy, followed by 2 years of Lupron, Zytiga, and prednisone). I am not sure what to expect as my oncologist was not effusive in showing me a life I can expect. I expect that withing 3-4 months my psa will tell me

PALB2 genetic defect-Lynparza
I have PALB2 genetic defect. Just completed six cycles of Taxotere as part of triple therapy (chemo, Nubeqa and ADT) for about 20 Mets (PSMA scan) mostly skeletal (no organs). Only four Mets still lit up on PSMA scan after four cycles of chemo/Lupron/Nubeqa. Next PSMA scan in Jan. 2024. Oncologist recommends

to have second prolia ? Nervous
I have had one (first and only ) prolia injection in August this year . For the first time in 3,5 months - the back pain has subsided and I feel a little more human. Jaw sore ? Does this mean that my body has adjusted and will handle the 2 prolia injection better ? Or will the second injection be

Elevated LDH
Hello, I haven’t posted before. My 44-year-old husband was diagnosed 2 years ago. He has been in watch and wait. We just met with his oncologist. His other blood counts are relatively stable, just increasing at a low rate. But his LDH has steadily increased the last 3 tests and is elevated. His oncologist

Ketamine - a profound experience
Three weeks ago I went for a Ketamine therapy visit. My goal was to reduce my anxiety and get help with my existential fears. Had tried Effexor, but didn't like the way it made me feel and was concerned other anti-anxiety meds would do same. Ketamine is a short acting anesthetic, but at a lower dose

Swollen painful hand
I've had PMR for 2 years. Was started on 40 mg of prednisone. I have slowly gotten down to 13 mg. Recently I tapered to 12 mg but have not felt very well & suddenly my right hand fingers are swollen & very painful. This has never happened before. Is this some kind of flare?

Week 9 #2 done
I'm so nearly there. I really did not think I would get this far when I first set out. I thought either laziness or injury would stop me but here I am comfortably running 5k in 30 minutes and with only 1 run remaining. I am truly shocked! Hopefully Tuesday morning will see me complete C25k and from

Piqray/alpelesib. Oncologists. And various.
I was told as an afterthought to the stable news by my oncologist, that I have a “few
fractures
” in my vertabrae. Do any of you think this is strange, or is it something we should just be able to hear easily? When I told him, or questioned him, “Is this quite serious?

Parkrun might have to wait
I was intending to do my first ever parkrun tomorrow but having survived Ciaran yesterday, the sun was shining and it was fairly calm. Forecast tomorrow not so good- ah the dilemma, go out this morning or do some S&F and do parkrun tomorrow? Readers, the lure of a lovely sunny morning run was too great

Soft bones, under pressure to take meds finally…
In hospital for unrelated issue but connected as well. Very small fracture in knee likely caused by rough handling in a different hospital to the one I’m in now during a procedure. I’ve refused the drugs for nearly eight years. Prolia sounds dreadful if you can’t tolerate like my sister felt but locked

Asking for advice
Since I first diagnosed with PC (T3bNx, GS 3+4)last February, 2023, I’ve been through RP, ADT and IMRT continuously. I had Firmagon shot twice before RP and switched ADT to Eligard. Then I started 25 sessions of IMRT. All the treatments was done within 3 and half months. Now I am exhausted. I am

Bone Density Scan
She verified that after stopping it I would be at risk for spine
fractures
and have to get on something else. I'm just wondering if I should be having another Scan before making any decision. I'd also like to wait until my next dental appointment which will be after the new year.
