My doctor wants me to take actonel for bone loss. Is anyone taking it? I callled my surgeons office and He said it was ok. I read the side effects and now I wonder how safe it is for rny
patients. I am 4 years out.

I took Actonel for about a year. It did help but when I was going through chemo my bone loss progressed and my oncologist now has me on Reclast. It is done intravaneously and only once a year. My regular MD says it was the best thing I could have done and he will have me do this yearly. My blood work looks good and I'll be doing another bone density test later in the year. I'm hoping that it has improved. Please make sure you keep up with your calcium and my doctor even has me on a precription for Vitamin D to go along with it.
