Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Dang Aurilia,,,,lol I was hoping the chemo brain would go away in a couple of months after treatments!!!! I assume Aurilia my oncon will suggest I do the Arimidex sense the Aromasin didn't work out, I know that Arimidex is suppose to be very hard on the bones!!! You mentioned that you had some bone damage and still have 2 yrs to go on the Arimidex right? Are you doing bone scans ever 6 mos or just once a yr? That is my main concern about the Arimidex I sure don't want to destroy my bone density!!!! Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 No worry Steph. Bone scan is done once a year and I'm given zometa infusion intravenously every 6 months to strengthen the bones. The oncologist also prescribed 2 tablets of calcium with vitamin D daily. I also take vitamin C and fish oil capsules as well. With lots of veg, fruits and fish as well as moderate amount of meat intake, I seem to be fine and able to bear the fatigue and aches. I also try my best to cut down sugar and fat intake. With God's grace, we can do it!!! Lots of love,Aurelia.
