Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

There has not been a single case of bone cancer among people using Forteo (or Tymlos). The black box warning has been taken off Forteo and it can now be used for more than 2 years. This will most likely also happen for Tymlos but since it is new, it takes longer.

I have had breast cancer (2015) with risk of metastasis to bones but feel perfectly safe taking Tymlos.

These scare tactics are affecting people's health. There are certainly side effects and for some, possible health effects, but they need to be conveyed responsibly.

I would like to see the info on bone formation with Tymlos versus Forteo in the actual text on this, and any graphs.

@windyshores - Again, it is good to hear that you find Tymlos of help. And thank you for the updated information about cancer risk.

I am a newbie to all this, gathering information here and from library books which is where I got the 2019 Calton book, probably written before the cancer risk was debunked as you mentioned. I lack the energy to retype more text - my primitive method.
Yes, being frightened affects our health. Not being attentive to risks and finding oneself regretting unwise decisions made in haste can also be bad for our health.
I think it best I simply read, rather than write posts.
