So glad your oncologist explained things to you. I was told to start Reclast by the PA,I decided not to start at the time. Have since changed my follow-up cate locally and oncology nurse referred me to my primary because oncology does not order osteoporosis meds. Now my primary is leaving and I have to start back to step one. It is mind boggling that I cannot find continued care from any physician. From my research I am leaning towards Evenity, Tymlos or Forteo. Anyone tried these?

I'm on Prolia so I can't answer your question (although next month I plan on asking my oncologist for an alternative). What I find interesting is that the oncologist won't treat for osteoporosis. My case is somewhat different in that I'm at the osteopenia stage, and my primary care doc won't treat for that because Medicare doesn't cover it unless you're on AI's. I'm on my 4th oncologist (long stories there), but all 4 just assumed treating my osteopenia. It's not the Healthcare systems because they're in 3 different systems. Weird.
