Cancer risks of Tymlos

I am 51, lift weights, eat well and do yoga. I recently had a bone density test and have osteoporosis. I was totally shocked, I went through menopause early and really had no clue about what could happen to my bones. My spine is -3.2, hips 2.5. My doctor is recommending Tymlos. I am doing my research on the drug and am reading how others went on a different drug after Tymlos. I was thinking I would have to take it for 2 years then stop. I guess I am hopeful my numbers would be better and I can stop. Or do I have to move to another drug even if my numbers look better? Thanks in advance!

@kcfrancis many of us go on Reclast (or Fosamax) to "lock in" gains after Tymlos. I visualize it as coating the bone to seal gains in (whether accurate I don't know). Your bone density isn't terrible so you might be able to do one infusion. Your doctor can advise you on this.
