Re: OsteoporosisFrom: Braun, R. Daniel (rbraun@iupui.edu)Thu Feb 10 08:35:12 2005
She is already on the Therapeutic dose of Fosamax. So the only things left are: Increase calcium, exercise, and an Internal Medicine Consult. Also discuss with her Onc regarding estrogen. If it has been more than 5 years and especially if E receptor negative, many people think there is no risk to estrogen. Dan R. Daniel Braun, MD "If everyone likes you, you're doing something wrong."

Andy Rooney -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Elrod Darryl G MAJ 48 MDOS/SGOBO Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 9:36 AM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Osteoporosis I haven't seen many postmenopausal women in the last 4 years, so I'm asking for some advice. I have a 58 yo G3P3 with history of breast cancer and endometrial cancer that has been taking fosamax 70mg/wk for her 'prevention of osteoporosis.' She has had a mastectomy and TVH/BSO in the past. This was the first I had seen her, so I ordered a bone density scan since she hadn't had one in several years. Her T score was -2.6. Obviously, she is not a candidate for estrogen therapy. Now that she is clearly osteoporotic, what other options do I have in her treatment? Thanks, Glen D.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education.
