Hi
I fractured in 2022 my t8 Rolling over in bed. Started reclast once a yr. Spine t score improved -1.3. . In 2024 had breast cancer lumpectomy DCIS hormone pos stage 0.
There was a microscopic break in one of my milk ducts. Did 20 rounds radiation. Apr 18 2025 my t9 and t10 compression fractures. The doctor wants to start me on forteo for 24mths. I know one of the side effects of this medication is bone cancer.Has anyone used forteo that has been through breast cancer. I don't know what to do. Should I stay on the reclass . I have had it for 3 yrs. I am supposed to have another one june 24th. Or do I just keep doing my bone supplements and stop drugs altogether. 🤔

I gave myself Forteo injections for 12 months. The 13th month I was diagnosed with breast cancer. That was 12 years ago. I recovered. Then last August I had mastectomy, same breast. Im not in favor of Forteo. No doctor could or would tell me it was caused by the Forteo. I'm not a fan of Forteo.
