[quote=Anonymous]Bumping this. My second DEXA scan came back showing osteoporosis in the spine at age 53 following an osteopenia baseline DEXA two years ago. (I’ve been on complete estrogen suppression shots/meds these past two years following ER/PR+ breast cancer at 50.) My PCP seems completely blasé about it. I had to contact her through MyChart once the test came back, and her assistant replied by saying to come in in 2-3 months from now to see my doctor. (Office not willing to schedule me sooner because if that note in the record.) Am I right to think this is strange/inadequate? I’m taking Calcium + Vitamin D but would like to hear sooner rather than later about Fosamax or even the annual Reclast infusion, which significantly reversed my friend’s Osteoporosis the first year. Also, for those who previously had breast cancer, might I be better served by my oncologist’s office for this? She’s the doctor who ordered the baseline DEXA and two-year follow up. [/quote]
