Forteo or Reclast?

Hi Joanne, welcome to our community. Sorry to hear about your breast cancer, how are you doing now--better? I took forteo and did really well on it! If you've ever had radiation to the bone or bone cancer you shouldn't take forteo. Talk with your oncologist about forteo and see what he or she says. I've never taken Reclast but you could ask your Dr. about that as well.
If your radiation treatment didn't involve the bone, then you might be able to take forteo, but I would talk to the oncologist first before you decide what to do.
Good luck, and I hope you find something to help and glad you could join us here!!

have had both but for the last two years have been on Reclast. My t score has gone from a -3.0 to a -2.2 in one year. With Forte I went from, -3.0 to a -2.6 in 2 years but as soon as I stopped Forte my t score went back up to -3.0. I will stay on Reclast from now on.Good uck
