@leeosteo I just watched the podcast which is an overview of treatment in Canada. Cancer is mentioned at the end for literally seconds, where the speaker says Forteo and Tymlos should not be taken by people who have had cancer. Again, I asked docs about this and researched it and felt comfortable taking Tymlos despite having had cancer. I believe it needs to be avoided absolutely if you have had bone metastases. Radiation may be another contraindication but I don't know anything about it. (I was more concerned about Prolia because it affects the immune system and the immune system fights cancer cells, but studies showed that was not an issue either).

ps Because the reference to cancer was so quick, I am wondering if the speaker just didn't want to go into detail and nuance or if that is really the position of docs in Canada.
