Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

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.

The doctors still seem quite concerned about recommending Forteo or Tymlos to anyone who had radiation. And I had IORT-a bit more of a limited and more targeted radiation done at the time of the lumptecomy so you would think they would be more open to the idea of trying Forteo or Tymlos. I guess there are different risks with all the medications and one has to weigh all the risks/benefits. I got three different opinions when it comes to Evenity from cardiologists. One said go for it, another said only if there are no other options, the third said dont take it. Given this, I have no idea what the best path forward is...
