TLC’s “Here’s to Your Health with Marilu Henner” discusses the impact breast cancer can have on women’s bones with guests Dr. Wayne Keiser, an oncologist with the Redwood Regional Medical Group in Santa Rosa, Calif and Joan Feinbloom, a breast cancer survivor.

Dr. Keiser explains that women receiving hormone therapy as a treatment for breast cancer can experience bone loss and weakened bones.¹ He also sheds light on some of the serious problems that women with advanced breast cancer may experience when the cancer spreads to their bones, including broken bones, spinal cord injury, or the need for procedures like surgery or radiation.²

Joan Feinbloom, a breast cancer survivor, details her journey with breast cancer—from her initial diagnosis to the discovery of bone metastases. She also talks about her life-long passion for bowling; in fact, Joan’s bowling team has been a key source of support and motivation throughout her diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Keiser and Ms. Feinbloom encourage breast cancer patients to speak with their healthcare providers about breast cancer and bone health, and available treatment options. They also encourage those interested in learning more about this critical health topic to visit www.BoneHealthinFocus.com for additional tools and resources.
