Osteoporosis is a risk for any woman, especially those who go through menopause early.
With my being diagnosed with Breast cancer at 41, it also meant taking all of the cancer and hormone crushing drugs. Before my 42 birthday I had successfully been catapulted right through menopause. I have been on various hormone controlling drugs since.
Unfortunately, these drugs are pushing me in the wrong direction with my bones. My last scan a couple of weeks ago indicates that I am in the Osteopenia range in my results. That is pre-osteoporosis.
So I have just downed my glass of calcium & vitamin D orange juice, will chew a couple of calcium tablets and off to the gym. Got to do that weight bearing exercise.
