Hi Lesley. It’s a minefield isn’t it? Have you had a Dexa Scan? I’m guessing you likely have if AdCal being prescribed. Have you got a copy if Dexa scan? If not you can ask for a copy. Although, if I’m honest it is heavy reading (as are the photos) but you should be able to ask it is put in simple terms for you to fully understand from GP or breast care nurses. Good old Google can help. But if I think back I’m not sure now who decided and prescribed the AdCal and why 2 a day. It must have been the Oncology Dr. It’s such a vulnerable time that you go with the flow and follow what your told. I have Zoldronic Acid infusions every 6 months (1 to go). I understand that is to help prevent bone issues, including osteoporosis. I’m NHS route I wonder how different it would be if private. I feel very alone sometimes.
Your post has me thinking. I know I have read shouldn’t mix and add different supplements, like Vit K I guess, without checking - but who do you check with? I like a medical opinion, but who is most knowledgeable you can actually access?
Also…. When if having and finishing Infusions, like me, who keeps an eye on your Calcium levels when taking AdCal? That is basically where you are now with your original question Lesley. Simple questions in theory but difficult to get answered professionally.
Guess I may soon put up a post myself. Always questions but nit always clear or easy getting answers is it?
