Guest guest Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I just had a dexa scan and my MD office called to say it showed significant osteoporosis of my spine and I will see my MD this coming week. I will soon be 57 and was dx with atypical CLL in 2005 and remain well with no tx. needed so far. I will be discussing tx options with the MD. I have been taking 1200 mg of calcium with much Vit D 3 for some time now and do exercise but it looks like despite this, I am still developing osteoporosis. Does anyone know if any of the meds are contradicted for someone with CLL or are they Ok to take? Always something. R Adks NY and AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Thanks, My GP told me yesterday that it stimulates osteoblasts that build bone and is specific to osteoblasts. I will see the specialist late March and go from there. I appreciate your input.
