Mixed results 1 year after Forteo: What are your thoughts?

very interesting. My endo has approved a third year for me to take Forteo injections, which began in July. I am a bit worried about any bone cancer risks, but I have to think that if he thought it was dangerous he would not have approved it.

There is new research that doesn’t limit the medication now to two years. You can ask your doctor if that is why he’s extending your treatment. Don’t be intimidated to ask questions!

@janflute I read that not a single human has gotten bone cancer from Forteo. The only concern, I think, is for those who have risk for metastatic cancer that can spread to bones. I have had high grade breast cancer and did Tymlos for two years and would gladly do more! Your doctor knows more about this and if you are uncomfortable with the prospect, maybe you can discuss it with them.
