Hello all. I've posted a few times and read religiously the information given on this forum. I now have arrived at the Docetaxel stage of my cancer. Erleada, Casodex, Xtandi, Zoladex, Lupron. All have failed and my PSA is still rising. It recently went above 4.
I am doing chemo for 10 sessions every three weeks. I finished the third one a week ago. I have only one lesion in my 7th cervical vertebrae that was just discovered. I have a new doctor because mine actually died in a car crash. This is actually my third Onco as the one previous to that died in a routine procedure that went terribly wrong. So I don't know this Onco well and need to research his advice to be comfortable.
He wants me to start on Xgeva. He warns me that it could cause severe Jaw bone pain and damage. He wants to know if I have any dental problems. I haven't seen a dentist for a long time because I have had a Pericles sword over my head, a 4-8 year survival rate, since I was 34. 31 1/2 years. I'm the poster boy for CS,
Sorry to be long-winded. My question is what have been any of your experiences with Xgeva, and what was your dental situation? Thank you for any help in making this decision.
