Hi:
I wouldn’t think you’d need a second one but you need a copy of it to share with a different doctor. They should be able to do that for you.
I have osteoporosis which the dexascan score on my first one led me down the path to learning I have MGUS. My doctors don’t think it is related to the MGUS but I’m not sure I agree with that.
Anyway I really struggled with the decision of medication to treat it- and got a couple of compression fractures while debating it! ( went snow skiing which I have given up now)
I think the bisphosphonate IV will be what they give you. It’s zolendronate in US and zometa in Europe I think. Don’t know what Xgeva is.
Are you debating which drug?
Or whether or not to take anything?
I was annoying and asked tons of questions but got more answers from the NP than the MD.

No, I'm not debating which drug, but whether I actually need a drug like Xgeva / Zometa at all, or if simple over-the-counter calcium and vitamin D3 supplements would be enough. I understand that with Xgeva and Zometa, there can be some serious, albeit rare, side effects.
