Breast cancer patients are caught between a rock and a hard place. I spent five years on Anastrozole which caused osteopenia. The doctor recommended Prolia for my bones. Prolia makes one susceptible to hip and spinal fractures when the drug is stopped if one doesn’t go on the oral bone drugs. Some patients also experience jaw necrosis. I’m weaning off Prolia by getting a half dose for two years based on a study done by a Canadian endocrinologist. I have one more year of the half dose to go. I would like to get my one root canal out, but I’m terrified of developing jaw necrosis. I think I should wait until I’ve been off the Prolia for at least a year before I get any invasive dental work done. When I researched Prolia before I started it, some of this information wasn’t known. Big pharma can’t be trusted at all. In the meantime my back is getting worse and worse as is my arthritis.
It is definitely a challenge to make the right decision with the possibility of jaw bone necrosis. I think I would talk to as many specialists as I could before deciding. I cringe every time I hear from people that they are taking drugs for osteoporosis.
