This is very interesting. I am 67. My choices were Forteo or Evenity. Since I have had breast cancer twice, my oncologist and endochronologist chose Evenity. Dr McCormick wanted me to do Forteo. But I don't want any chance of bone cancer. I just had a nuclear stress test and blood work prior to Evenity, which delayed me three months. My CT calcium score is 0. I just got cleared for the injections and will start Tuesday! My blood calcium was checked and needs to be checked prior to every injection.

It is all very nerve-racking and confusing, but mostly I am excited to be able to start it.

Best wishes to you.

The bone cancer warning has been lifted for Forteo. Not a single human has developed bone cancer on Forteo. The rats were given very large doses in the studies.

I saw some concern about cancer for Evenity somewhere too. It would take some digging to find but I'll try. I believe it was theoretical and not from studies with rats.

I have had breast cancer (once) and was okay with either of these, or Tymlos. If I had any metastasis, I would not take either Forteo or Evenity.
