Hello all

My BMD has significantly decreased as per recent dexa scan. As compared to the baseline at the start of my ADT.

Having discussed with my onco as well as my orthopedic doctors, the choice of treatment is narrowed down to denosumab and teraparatide.

I would like to know if people can share their experiences with both of these.

Denosumab has an advantage of once in 6 month or 3 month injection, while its disadvantage is side effects like.osteonecrossis of the jaw. Also tjey say once u stop it, bmd starts decreasing fast.

In teraparatide, it is to be injected subcutaneous daily for a min of 3 months and max of 2 years.

I want to hear expereinces of people who have taken these meds.
