Bone mets?
As my profile states, I’m on ADT3 and
Xgeva
. Could these pains just be side effects of treatments? What should I do next? Bob

Drug break
I also take
Xgeva
for my bones, Letrozole and Ibrance, along with various other pain meds, depression and anxiety meds and several different nausea meds. For 3 months I have been very sick with vomiting and bowel issues. They have run tests and done procedures and we can't figure it out.

Prevalence of Osteonecrosis of the Jaw [ONJ].
The risk is significant with bisphosphonates &
Xgeva
, & might not be properly explained before treatment. And one's dentist might not be on the ball. In the U.S.,
Xgeva
is now approved for multiple myeloma, having been found non-inferior to Zometa.

Treatments: Firmagon then Lupron, Bicalutamide 50 MG daily,
Xgeva
for bone health. Also, had spot radiation both legs, shoulder, helped with pain. Thinking I need to push harder for Zitiga instead of Bicalutamide.

New Treatment Plan
She took me off all of the above medications and I am starting Faslodex tomorrow and already started
Xgeva
, and those will be the only treatment for now. Just wondered if anyone has been taking just the
xgeva
and faslodex shots and how you are doing?

Pain in hands
I have been on Ibrance, Letrozole and
Xgeva
for 14 cycles. So far Cancer is stable. Thank God! However, one morning I woke up and my hands were hurting so bad. I am having trouble doing every day tasks. Brushing my teeth, combing my thin hair, personal hygiene, turning doorknobs, etc.

MBC cancer diagnosis
My oncologist recommended letrozole, Ibrance and
Xgeva
. Two PET scans and six months later the breast tumors had shrunk and other areas of concern had either shrunk or disappeared. My main side effects are fatigue, low white blood cell count, hair thinning and the return of hot flashes.

Gabapentin for pain
Gabapentin has been ordered, currently taking Ibrance, letrozole and
xgeva
. Has anybody tried this for pain management? I don’t like the looks of the side effects.

Second opinion update
Says
Xgeva
has significant risk for liver damage and understated risk for osteonecrosis of jaw. He would give
Xgeva
once every 6 months. He did not commit to a plan, telling me to finish the docetaxel first.

Possible side effects of drugs
I'm on Ibrance Faslodex and
Xgeva
. My ability to walk has been comprimised drastically and I've been experiencing numb feet at times. Has anyone else had any of these problems and if so can you offer any advice?

Dropping Stuff
Someone told me it could be the medicine I'm on - Lupron and
Xgeva
. I'm only 58 so I don't think it an age issue. Anyone else experiencing this?

Dentist wants to pull my teeth prior to Xgeva....
Dr. wants me to start on
Xgeva
but wanted a dentist clearance. VA dentist wants to pull 4 or 5 of my teeth as a precaution...Have some bone loss around the teeth but would probably last the rest of my life....I really do not want to give up my teeth but I also want to get going on

SIDE EFFECTS / XGEVA
Just curious as to side effects any of you are experiencing if you are receiving monthly injection of
Xgeva
? I had no problem whatsoever with first two injections but, after receiving third injection this past Friday, I have had excessive pain to back and joints.

Xgeva for Bone mets from Prostate Cancer. (Gleason 9)
What is your experience with
Xgeva
. After 14 years of hormone treatment with Dr. Myers after radiation have developed bone mets. Current oncologist recommends
Xgeva
. Does it work? Will VA or Medicare cover? I am 100% service connected disabled with VA due to Agent Orange.
