Sophie, your bone markers are calling for a bisphosphonate while your Tscore pleads for and anabolic. You might look at the difference in mechanism of action. It is good to determine a preference before seeing a physician. Then when/if they offer you a choice', there isn't further delay in treatment. I'm pretty certain you'll be ready.
I'm partial to Forteo. I'm not happy with the slow way bisphonates work or the bone they save. I don't like Prolia or Evenity, though both are easier with fewer injection.
There are youtube videos cartooned to let you see the molecular actions of the drugs, usually produced by the drug company.
If you throw out any questions, we'll get a lively discussion going in preparation for you endo.

Actually, I do have a question (not related just to my situation, even though it is the case for me as well)
Why does it seem like almost all younger adults with osteoporosis have worse scores on the spine in comparisson to the hips?
I wasn't able to find any information online :/
