Bob's question: how to convince a doc

bone scan/calcium loss/cancer
Submitted by katman on Wed, 2008-08-27 12:14.This has nothing to do with CPni (or does it?). Last week I had my bone scan and I stopped taking Fosamax 2 years ago because of my aching jaw, which turned out to be a side effect of the drug, leading to jaw disintegration.
Apparently I have a fairly significant amount of bone loss since my last scan 2 years ago. Now my dr (cpn rxer)) wants to check my Vit D level and put me on the ONE X A MONTH form (fosamax is weekly) of a drug in the same family. I cannot take estrogen, because the cancer of my dx is an extrogen feeder. Anyone have any ideas or thoughts? I am 5' 2", 113#, small-framed.
