@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?

Yes it can spread to bones. Also, my mother had breast cancer and it spread to her bones and she died at 49. I don't have direct evidence because I was only 17 but I've been told she was on the synthetic estrogen (premarin with no progresterone) after hysterectomy and was most likely the cause (this was in the 1970's). I do not have the genetic marker for breast cancer.
It is very confusing for me to decide which way to go. I am 63 this month and had pretty much decided on Evenity. But I keep waffling........mainly because I don't especially want to do bisphosphonates. I am certain about doing an anabolic, resistance strength training, and balance exercises. The rest is unclear.....
