Why Bone Health Matters for Breast Cancer Patients: What You Need to Know During and After Treatment

In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked yet critical connection between breast cancer treatment and bone health, as well as what patients can do to protect their bones throughout every stage of care.

You’ll learn:

  • How treatments like hormone therapy, radiation, and aromatase inhibitors impact bone density
  • Why estrogen receptor-positive patients are at greater risk for bone loss
  • The role of calcium, vitamin D, and weight-bearing exercise in bone strength
  • How to track bone health with regular DEXA scans
  • What osteoclast-targeted therapy is and how it prevents fractures and bone metastases
  • Long-term strategies to maintain bone strength after treatment

Whether you’re currently in treatment or navigating recovery, this episode will help you make bone health a vital part of your cancer care plan.
