Prolia then Evenity?

Hi @risagee - Outside of your prior / existing issues (which could complicate medication choices), it does not make sense for someone to use Prolia and then follow it with Evenity. If I were you, I would talk to your doctor to see if they have a sound reason for using Prolia first. If not, then you might need to educate them on the vast benefits of using Evenity first, then move to Prolia if needed. You would need to get a DXA scan done on month 11 on Evenity to determine the best follow-on treatment. Perhaps Fosamax would be sufficient but it depends on your T-Scores.

Thank you, Michael.
I think my doctor chose Prolia so that I can take it for the duration of my required aromatase inhibitor medication (3-1/2 more years). I think it’s recommended more frequently than Evenity, Tymlos etc. for post breast cancer patients who might be at risk for developing bone cancer. Once I’m done with it, she feels Evenity will help build up my crumbling spine. Does that make more sense to you?
