@yogagirl57 they gave rats huge doses. Osteosarcoma has not been an issue with human use. The black box warning has been lifted for both Forteo and Tymlos. Forteo can now be used for more than two years. (Tymlos is similar but the manufacturer needs to do the same studies for longer term use ...)

I wonder if there are any studies indicating cancer from Tymlos use in humans, and if so, what the percentage is. If Tymlos has been around for 7 years, you'd think they would have some data.

Is there any way to test for quality of bone? As in Prolia lowers the numbers and fills in some gaps but supposedly - say the naysayers - this "new" bone is actually weaker bone, an imbalance in old cells leaving and not actual new bone. But you do get better numbers. Is there any way to know?
