If you're over 65, suffering from any type of cancer in the pelvic region, and awaiting radiation treatment - hopefully your Doctor is aware of these facts. Or if the cancer don't get you, bone fractures will.
Quote: "Within one year of suffering a hip fracture, 10 percent to 20 percent more women die than expected for their age group. The number of deaths due to hip fracture is comparable to the number of deaths due to pancreatic cancer and is only slightly lower than the number of deaths caused by breast cancer."
