Bone density scans are recommended post transplant.

The meds ain't kind and much bone density can be lost in a very short period of time.

I have one yearly and this years showed a dramatic increase of bone loss from last years. Calcium lab has always been listed for my monthly labs.

You wanna feel old - I'm now at a high risk for broken bones and hips.

Don't that just float your boat.

I get a bone density scan yearly, my doctor recommends it for post menopausal women & it's easy. I will not go for the breast scan she wants cause I've heard a lot of nasty things about it. SuzieDeb <posttransplant@...> wrote:
