I appreciate your participation on this site and the experiences you share. However this reply troubles me as it skirts dangerously close to medical advice. I've read your past comments which are all highly critical of Prolia, but Prolia works very well for a lot of people and has been shown to be effective in usage up to 10 years. I understand the rebound effect, bit that is not limited to Prolia and there are drugs for transitioning off it. I've used Prolia successfully for 4 years and will transition off it in December with Zometa. I trust my oncologist, and expect a good outcome. I hope you take this in the spirit it's meant as I do appreciate reading your posts.

@dlmdinia I totally agree with your criticism. I once asked the moderators to delete a post when I slipped like that. I usually write "according to my doctors" or according to McCormick" or a"ccording to this or that video" and in that post I had two separate sentences, with one saying my doctors won't use Prolia, which was ineffective in making it clear that the previous sentence came from my doctors.
I try to go slowly on the forum but sometimes I agree it can veer too closely to "advice" and I do try to be careful about attributing anything I say to either personal experience or to advice from professionals. I think this particular issue has been discussed so much, so often, that I just kind of wrote it by rote. I'll ask mods to fix it!
Prolia is a great drug for increasing bone density. My doctors are vehemently against it but you are right, transitioning is possible and I hope it has done well for you.
I have two friends who stopped cold turkey and their doctors didn't tell them about rebound. I am glad yours did!
