Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

The reason why you cant take Tymlos or Forteo after radiation is that it causes bone cancer. I do not think they have found that to be the case with Evenity. But its such a new drug. Like others here, I have severe osteoporosis (-3.5) had some radiation after a lumpectomy and I also had a heart attack in 2010, so my options are limited. I am debating prolia or Evenity and talking to my cardiologist and other doctors about which one. No bone breaks yet, Im 63.

It has been found to be untrue that Forteo causes bone cancer in humans, and I believe not a single case has occurred since it began usage.
The black box warning for Forteo and bone cancer has been removed and the time limit taken off. Tymlos is newer and will probably also have the black box removed.
I also had breast cancer.
The amount of these meds given to rats was much much larger than what humans get.
That said, if you or I had bone metastases it could be a concern.
No doctor and no research that I have been able to find or request has said that breast cancer patients cannot take Forteo or Tymlos.
