[Foldem]

I’m starting Xofigo next week. Anything special I should know? Side effects? I’d love to hear your experience. Thanks.

I went on Xofigo several years ago. I didn't experience any significant side affects. But everyone is different.

I just went on Xofigo for six months. Had the first injection on February 10.

Something like a Geiger counter was clicking and showing a reading of 116 from about 6 feet away.

I was told to use a separate bathroom from my wife so that she might not be unnecessarily exposed to radiation, etc.

I will be using Fosamax to prevent bone fractures.

Here us the link to an article I wrote last week that might be helpful >>> healthunlocked.com/advanced...

Blessings to you, Foldem.
