I just had a bone density scan and the results show:
“The hip density has decreased a nonsignificant 0.026 g/cm squared. The spine density has decreased a significant 0.138 g/sq cm.” Further, “Low bone mass (osteopenia: T-score between 1.0 and 2.5) at the femoral neck or total hip with a 10-year hip fracture risk 3% or a 10-year major osteoporosis-related fracture risk 20% (i.e., clinical vertebral, hip, forearm, or proximal humerus). This patient does not meet criteria for consideration of pharmacologic treatment to prevent osteoporosis and fracture.”
However, I am taking vitamin D twice per day. Not sure if they will increase the dosage or not. I will update again when I’ve spoken with my oncologist.
