I was told by my cancer doctor and radiologist I needed a bone density test and if I had osteoporosis there was a shot they could give me. Chemo and radiation tend to weaken your bones (plus I am 70) and the Femara I take daily for my cancer seems to be guaranteed to mess up my bones. I got my Prolia shots at the cancer center. Don't have a special doctor that oversees that, just the nurse practitioner.

Thank you both. I am struggling with the diagnosis and it’s potential impact on my lifestyle. I will be very specific with my rheumatologist.

Most but not all rheumatplogist treat osteoporosis ask the doctor and be specific

Scares me too. I know 2 women who are totally crippled
