The impact of breast cancer treatments on bone health – Longevity Live
For women undergoing breast cancer treatment, it is a fact that some of their treatments will result in treatment-induced bone loss. For those who are already at risk of bone density loss, this can result in fragility fractures if not managed from the start of treatments.

This is an important consideration for your medical team to discuss with you.
