@talleynovotny there might be concern being late and further delaying Prolia due to rebound. There are stories of fractures in that situation but I don't know how rare that is. You are between a rock and a hard place. This dilemma would merit an urgent referral for the liver issues, I would think, because you cannot go too long between Prolia shots and if you are stopping it, entirely, you need a bisphosphonate asap. I don't mean to be alarming and am only passing on what I have learned so check with doc.

@windyshores I have heard and read that fractures are more frequent than rare after stopping Prolia. I stopped after my first dose and took nothing else until my new doctor (after moving to a new city) gave me the choice of either Prolia or Actonel (its generic, since I am not covered for brands), so I chose to go back on generic Actonel once a month, which I had taken some years earlier, before Prolia.
Till then, I just was very careful not to fall any time. Fortunately a recent bone xray of hip and spine before starting on the Actonel generic showed no fractures.
