@pam52 I don't know; will be asking about that at my appointment in July (where I am sure we will discuss scheduling my second Reclast infusion). I do need to contact Medicare; I know they only do every 2 years unless (I believe) you are being actively treated for osteo (which I am). Personally, for my mental health, I need to know what my BMD numbers are. Spent the entire year worrying and wondering about how the Reclast infusion is helping/not; (CTX numbers indicate it is working, according to the doc, but what are my T-scores?). If DEXA gold standard and we are being treated with powerful medication perhaps for years/forever I really need to know.
