In your case I think it is a really good idea to seek out a specialized Endocrinologist and go by their recommendation. The local place where I do my bone scan had suggested I switch from Prolia to Fosamax because I had been on Prolia 7 years at that time. I asked my Primary Care Doctor, and he said he was not an expert and suggested I see an Endocrinologist, and being a Mayo patient I was able to get a Consult at Mayo. mayo Endocrinologist told me they usually see women with breast cancer, and they have them on Prolia now for 12 years given Prolia anti-bone tumor properties and he recommended I stay on Prolia for another five years since I have lung cancer.
The bio-similars are supposed to be as effective as Prolia, but I don't need to prove it. I stay on Prolia until a real expert tells me to change based on my clinical profile.
