Sorry to hear that things have been put on hold. The intervals for these DEXA scans seem too far apart for the patient to get any positive feedback on their progress. Unfortunately, it's all about cost and the insurance companies don't want to pay just to see minute progress since it takes a long time to increase bone density. I got a DEXA scan at 6 months of being on Forteo and the insurance company approved it - now they say they didn't. I'm filing appeal this week for reversal of the decision. I agree with you to wait for another discogram closer to the surgery time to get the most updated films.
