Guest guest Posted November 6, 2000 Report Share Posted November 6, 2000 Hi Red, That's true, Paget's is a bone disease causing osteomalacia, but it also the name for a type of breast cancer. I too wondered about this, but Paget's does refer to both disorders. To confuse us, no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Hi , I sent some articles on Paget's disease, hopefully they will be of some help... That's one that I do not have to my knowledge ) Keep us informed how you do at the docs next week... How are ya doing otherwise??? ((( Sunny Hugs ))) Helen HelloI was wondering if anyone out on this list has Paget's disease and if they could share their experiences with us. My parents have been visiting me this last week and my mother was taking some pills that she described as killing off the calcium. I looked it up on the Internet; Paget's Disease and bone cancer were the only two conditions that drug was approved for. I asked her to describe some of her symptoms and some of the tests they did and it sounds like what the webpages have for Paget's disease. Apparently it may be heriditary, often goes undiagnosed, and can lead to complications like Heart Failure which is what I have. Hmmm, I think I'll be asking for some screening on my next Cardiologist's visit which fortunately is next week.Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Has anyone here heard of it? My 80 yr old father is really in a bad way. Bone reproduces itself by a factor of 10 then resorbs - it looks everything like fluffy clouds - his bones will just not support him for much longer and he'll have painful debilitating immobilisation......not very pleasant at all. He also has alzhiemers... Terrible watching it consume him Thanks LSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
