I had my last Evenity April 9th and was due for another one May 9th. But I am not going to have that 5th dose. I will do Reclast on June 12. If I lose some bone in that month, so be it. My body needs a break after 5 years of cancer meds, two years of Tymlos, and 4 months of Evenity. My doc said there was "no rush" and Evenity "takes time to mineralize" so he is fine with this timing. I will do a "test dose" of Reclast and see what I can tolerate.

windy,
We are the same path. I have my last Evenity dose next friday.
Reclast in June.
I have been receiving the Evenity injections in an infusion center which has been fine. The Reclast I will receive at the rheumatologist office.
Yesterday, I spoke to the RN who does the infusion. She said that I could slow the infusion down as much as I wanted.
She also advised about hydration and Tylenol.
I will follow instructions and hope for best.
I asked that their office order a dexa. The nurse said that insurance only pays for it every two years. I told her that I would pay for it myself.
It’s crazy to take a year of Evenity and not want a dexa at the end of it.
Also, crazy that Medicare would pay $5,639.15 for Evenity every month for 12 months, but not pay $300 for a dexa.
