You should have gotten another bone protecting drug after Evenity within a month after the last injection to prevent losing significant amounts of the gains of Evenity.

I wonder why you didn't get advised to take alendronic acid (alendronate) as an oral solution to take once a week. It is supposed to be not as bad for your esophagus, as it goes down rather quickly, contrary to swallowing it as a pill. I think it may be still not as safe as one of the medicines that get into your body by infusion, like Reclast.

Boniva seems to be highly effective to prevent spinal fractures, but not so much for other kinds of fractures. Alendronate is supposed to work positively for all kinds of fractures.

By the way, I'd prefer an endocrinologist above a gyn to treat osteoporosis.

@wilweten
Thank You for advice. I tried to get a second opinion with a endocrinologist and was told it would be six months before I could get an appointment IF he would see me at all. I live in a rural area and with my chemotherapy and radiation it is almost impossible for me to travel at this point. I am facing cardiac workup next week. I guess I will try Boniva and hope for the best. I am already 2 months post Eventy.
