No, not at all, I wish Windy! Was answering the question about what test cost $900 to Andrea. I spent the last year trying my best with lifestyle changes and it did nothing. In general was a good move. My appt is in April with my Rheum & will probably start tymlos, as long as my insurance cooperates. Unfortunately, she already said we don't do P1NP, yet has ordered an NTX in the past. I hope to convince her to order both before starting and that's why I wanted this 1yr DEXA.. So nervous, yet everyone on connect has been so helpful, I rely on it.

I'm reading @normahorn's comments abt CLL and Evenity, and oh my word! My oncologist who I had a telemed in NJ (before I read her comment) quickly stated, "no issue taking osteo meds with CLL, when asked." I finally decided to reach out to Moffit, I've been in FL 4yrs already, so I need to search out good Drs. Not fun🙁! Now I have appt's lined up and a petscan ordered by their CLL, Dr Tong, hoping for more insight into both issues.

The MD has to be sure to say the bone marker tests are medically necessary or they will not be covered.
