Bone health
Osteoporosis, Weak bones
Losing bone strength or bone density is common as we age. The cells that rebuild bone aren’t replaced at the same rate, causing bones to become thin and full of tiny holes. Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones lose mass or density and the bone tissue breaks down. As bones slowly become weaker, more brittle and less dense, they can fracture or break easily.
Certain cancer types and treatment can also weaken bones, resulting in osteoporosis.
We've collected our favourite resources for you to read, watch, listen to, download and share to better understand and manage this concern, as well as clinical services if you would prefer to speak to someone about the emotional challenges of cancer treatment.
