I’m very curious if I can take tymlos after Evenity? I have been back and forth between tymlos and Evenity and currently have landed on Evenity due to higher and faster gains in spine. Also I have had squamous cell cancer and didn’t want to take a chance but understand elongating treatment with anabolics. Any advice or anyone who did Tymlos post Evenity with success?? I’m scheduled to begin Evenity in Nov so there is time to change my mind. I’ve been on a roller coaster of decision making!

@osteoresearch I did Tymlos first, then Evenity (just 4 months). Most people seem to do it in that order. Not sure what the research says on this. Please share if your doctor has any info on this! Evenity is so new (2019) that lots of things are still unknown or unproven by studies. Evenity is anti-resorptive for the last half, at least, and Tymlos was anabolic for at least 18 months in my case. I would investigate the mechanism of each with your doctor in order to decide.

I had breast cancer grade 3 and had no concerns about Tymlos. If I were stage 4, I would avoid it for sure. In that case I would do Reclast/Zometa or even Prolia/Xgeva. Dose squamous cell cancer spread to bones the way breast cancer does?
