Keeping your bones healthy throughout the year is important. However, if you are a woman who has been diagnosed with breast cancer, bone health is especially important. Research shows that some breast cancer treatments can lead to bone loss. Plus, women are about twice as likely as men to develop osteoporosis ( Osteoporosis weakens bones to the point that they can break easily) after age 50. Talk to your healthcare team about specific recommendations for keeping bones healthy, taking calcium and vitamin D, and appropriate weight-bearing exercises to help keep the bones strong.
