| I'm a 62 year old male and my Endocrinologist is thinking of starting
me on Forteo. I have several more blood and urine tests to under go
before the decision is made. Anyone with knowledge, male that is, in
this group. I would appreciate your sharing your use of the drug.
Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

| Although this sounds like a wonderful drug, the only thing you have to
be concerned about is it was found to cause osteosarcoma (a bone cancer)
in a # of animals during testing. Suggest you discuss the risk with your
endo, as I can't quantify.
