@roseincalifornia
I think i am getting too many doctors I now have
Oncologist
Urologist
Cardiologist
Gastroenterologist
Hematologist
Whats adding another.
My GP said my DEXA scan comparison with the scan from two ago stated minimal bone loss change between the two, although the one neck femoral changed me into osteoporosis. He said readings change as you get older so although it now says osteoporosis, due to minimal change he was not worried from the change from teo years ago.

I concur with @njx58. Having a -2.6 T score in your femoral neck at age 72 is not ok.
According to gemini: "Based on age and bone density alone, a 72-year-old woman with a femoral neck T-score of -2.6 has a high 10-year fracture risk and meets the diagnostic threshold for osteoporosis.Statistically, using the standard FRAX (Fracture Risk Assessment Tool) baseline data for an average U.S. woman of this demographic with no other health complications:Major Osteoporotic Fracture Risk: Approximately 15% to 20% chance of breaking a bone (hip, spine, forearm, or shoulder) over the next 10 years.Hip Fracture Risk: Approximately 3.5% to 5% specific risk of breaking a hip over the next 10 years."
My doctor says everyone who fractures (who is not on osteoporosis drugs) always regrets not being on them post fracture. These days we are very lucky to have many different types of drugs to treat weak bones.
Wishing you the best.

@wheel1 Wow, that is terrible advice. The doctor is fine if your hip gets worse and worse? I would never go to that doctor again. He/she is incompetent when it comes to osteoporosis, I can tell you that with certainty.
