Atypical stress fracture from Boniva +Steroids

docy

Hi all,,

I have been on Boniva for two and half years for stress fractures in my foot.

I have started to have bilateral thigh pain started after 3 rd cycle of TCH and my doctors thought it was from chemo

2 months after finishing chemo it started to get worse limiting my walking and had to take pain meds around the clock

Finally I insisted on MRI and diagnosed with Femur shaft atypical stress fracture on both sides and Radiologist said it is most likely from Boniva and Steroids

So I asked my MO not to give steroids any longer with Kadcyla.

Any one had similar experience and how were you treated.

I’m seeing Ortho next week.

Thanks in advance

jus wanted to give update.

I finally had rod placements in my bothfemur bones in August and still has pain and some trouble walking.

My Kadcyla treatment was on hold for 3 months, back on it but not tolerating well with aches and pains all over and low platelet count..

So Yevett- John, what happened to you?
