Osteopenia

Back in 2021 I had a Dexa scan to look at bones - it showed I had Osteopenia and this was likely caused by the cancer treatment - see my blog post here. Well I just read today a great article that looks at bone health - I was pleased to see I'm doing all of that but thought it worth posting on this blog - take a look at: https://chriswoollamshealthwatch.com/your-illness/general-health/osteoporosis-six-simple-steps-for-strong-bones/
