Hi William,
My T Score was initially -3.1 spine and and improved with Forteo to -2.6. Dr. B had wanted the T score to be at least -2.5. There was no mention of using cement but even at -2.5 I would want to have this used. The main concern is that as soon as I got off the Forteo which is limited to 2 years of treatment, my bone density got worse within 6 months. So, I am concerned that even if I could get to the acceptable bone density and have surgery with the cement that I would be at a big risk for substenance if my bone density doesn't stay stable. I understand your concerns.
