@callalloo I have not heard about parthyroid cancer risk with meds. I assume Forteo and Tymlos. The black box warning is for bone cancer and there has not been a single case, I believe. Can you share info on parathyroid cancer risk?

My endocrinologist mentioned a risk of parathyroid cancer risk linked to one of the newer drugs that, in a sense, operate off of the parathyroid system, and I conflated that with the osteosarcoma risk that you correctly mentioned. I apologize for any confusion that I inadvertantly, and dumbly, introduced.
