Need Advice - What drug to Follow Up Evenity

Posted by prehorselover @prehorselover, May 8 5:03pm

I finished my 12th injection of Evenity on March 28th. It’s the only medication I’ve taken. Doctor recommended Prolia. I told her I would do ONE only. Then Reclast, then off drugs. My goal is to be able to ride horses for the rest of my life. I was diagnosed after I broke my shoulder. I’m 66. I suspect I have good bone quality. Started HRT.

Is that a good strategy?

Can you go from Evenity to Forteo?

Hi Kate, the thyoma is an interesting complication. Your physicians probably have more information about how, or if, it affects a decision for hormone replacement as well as the use of teriparatide. Do they think that it is a secondary cause of the osteoporosis. If you had it surgically removed, you could have somatic testing (genetic testing of the tumor itself). This would give you information about risk of metastasis and risk of recurrence. wh
Your biopsy material would remain available, but maybe not of sufficient size.
We're equally glad you found us.

I never thought about the thymoma and osteo, or what my oncologist would recommend as treatment. I will get in touch with her about that and the somatic testing. I am having a few tests to look for a secondary cause of the osteo. It will be interesting to see what they show. Thank you for this info.

Thank you so much for this. My thoughts are beginning to clarify and I am realizing I have limited options and they all come with risks. I wish my cardiologist was open to BHRT. I see her in 2 weeks and will ask again. Thanks again for taking the time to send your thoughtful response. I am so glad I found this group.

Listen to the newest episode of Dr. Shawn Tassone’s podcast, “Confessions of a male gynecologist.” Episode 111. He talked about a new study by the American Menopause Society on BHRT.

Thanks. I'll check it out. I loved my BHRT. Never should have stopped. After that, all the trouble started....
