A member asked:
During the first year after oopherectomy and taking arimidex, (anastrozole) what amount of bone loss can i expect if not on any treatment to prevent loss?

About 1-3%.: A bone density test would be helpful in deciding whether you should take a medication to prevent bone loss.

None: Hopefully no bone loss! DEXA scan needed at baseline or start of ai then as needed after that.
