I missed that. Maybe because Evenity is a new drug?

A friend in Oregon called to tell me her mother's suffering multiple compressin fractures of the vertebrae. Someone on Mayo Connect mentioned Dr. Susan Ott in Seattle whose expertise is osteoporosis. Ott also teaches about it at the Univ. of Wash. I mentioned her and my friend's going to take her mother there for a consultation.

What concerns me is athat all of the female relatives on her mother's side, in earlier decades, suffered severe osteoporosis. Her mother's never even had a DEXA scan despite bone loss being a clear possible issue. Now she's in her late 70 and might have fewer treatment options but I hope I'm wrong about that.
