@prettyflower I recommend reading more about Prolia and other medications in "Great Bones" by Keith McCormick. It was published in 2023 and has a very comprehensive section on osteoporosis medications. It may help you with your decision. There are also a number of excellent youtubes and articles that discuss osteoporosis medications, including Prolia.
Good for your to gather more info so you can make an informed decision. Prolia is a rather tricky medication to discontinue (or delay) -- see "Great Bones". Please be careful if you select it. Personally, it sounds like a rather scary medication.

Will check out the book. At age 77, already 3 spinal compression fractures, Afib and now a 12 mm typical neuroendocrine tumor in lung I’m a little “oh well, do my best.” I am actually relieved that the tumor is so slow growing, no sign of issue in lymph nodes. Meet with a surgeon at Mayo soon. Haven't had any Afib for a year. I’m at the Y exercising 5x a week, meet with a trainer. Looking forward to next cruise and a trip with RoadScholars.org
