Just saw this. I would ask to have Forteo, Tymlos or Evenity since you have a fracture. These meds grow bone and some studies show they work best if taken first, then followed by Reclast. I don't know your DEXA bone density scores. You can do one year of one of these meds and then Reclast or you can two years, depending on how bad your bones are and what monitoring shows.

I chose Tymlos because the pen has 8 clicks so I could start with two and move up. I have been on for 7 months now. It gives me hope!

I am also doing Reclast. I had my first infusion in February. We chose this because my Oncologist said is has grown back bone in cancer patients. I cannot take anything that stimulates estrogen (which of course helps bone growth) because my cancer feeds on estrogen. I am currently cancer free for a year :). I won’t get DEXA results until December but I am visualizing those bones getting heavier.
