About to start Prolia: What's your experience?

I think it depends. My doc said he would monitor and try to give me breaks. But I assume even with that optimal scenario it will be on and off. Also depending on monitoring doc would put me on another year of Tymlos (he might save it, we'll see after DEXA) or Evenity.
Good news for me is that I am no longer on cancer meds though I will say most of the drop from letrozole was in the first year.

Here comes the tricky part of the question. IF one goes on any bisphosphonate, including Prolia, after taking Tymlos, Forteo or Evenity, how does one avoid the known risks of the biphosphonates that make them so disliked? I mean, is it possible to build new bone with a drug, take a bisphosphonate to 'protect against losing it' and then get hit with the well-known downsides of the anti-resorptive bisphosphonates? I haven't found any info or studies addressing the seeming dilemma.
