xgeva
I was receiving
Xgeva
when they spotted something they thought was possible necrosis in my left jaw. Told me to quit
Xgeva
. I stopped
Xgeva
for 2 years. Now they want me back on it. I visited an oral surgeon who told me the spot was definitely not necrosis. With that I can restart
Xgeva
.

Xgeva S/E
I know
Xgeva
may cause osteonecrosis of the jaw. My question is can TMJ be signs of early onset osteonecrosis? I mentioned this to my MO last week. I am monitoring the situation. My MO mentioned a possible switch to Zometa. That med appears to have worse S/E. Thanks!

Continue xgeva after sbrt to bone mets?
My MO wants to continue
xgeva
for one more year, suggesting it will help bones strengthen after radiation. I was and still am hormone sensitive, so starting treatment with
xgeva
is questionable. Does it make any sense to continue with
xgeva
after sbrt?

Jaw bone necrosis.
I have been on
Xgeva
for about 3 years. Now my dentist says that I have osteonecrosis of the jaw because a piece of dead bone was found on my lower jaw. The piece of bone was removed and the hole is not closing up. What do I do? Any advise?

ADT reduced Zytiga and PCa variants
Been on Zytiga over a year, taken with
Xgeva
and Lupron. During the two pill test period of Zytiga, no food - 2hrs and + 1hr, my T and PSA became undetectable. Convinced the powers to continue with 2 pills to possibly reduce side effects and prolong effectiveness.

1/2 way through Xofigo with Apaludamide increasingly ineffective. PSA is declining. MO tells me Xofigo not the cause.
I'm being kept on Apalutamide with
Xgeva
injections to be added tri-monthly. Might there suggestions for treatment options to address the PC going forward? Sincere thanks to all for reading.

Zometa
I'm several months away from Medicare and really don't want to fork over 3k a month for
Xgeva
. I asked if I could do
Xgeva
every 3 months and just pay out of pocket and was told you need it monthly. Will I be screwing myself by waiting for Medicare?

ONJ followup
Consequently, they probably won't restart my quarterly
Xgeva
(bisphosphenate) shot, so my osteopenia and crumbling spinal vertebrae will do what?

Thinking about stopping Xgeva
I researched
Xgeva
and found that when you get the 4th injection you have approximately 187% of the dosage in your body that you had on your first injection.

Should we be concerned about estrogen interactions with Lupron/
Xgeva
/Flomax/Losartin? Thanks if you have personal experience to share to bring us up to speed.

Long Term Ibrance/letrozole Side Effects?
Currently on 75mg Ibrance (three weeks on, two off) and letrozole daily with
Xgeva
shots quarterly. My neutrophils haven't been great - never over .9 and occasionally .6 or .7 but my doc doesn't think that's too important.

Is This Normal??
Is it normal after nearly 5 years on ADT + Zytig, Prednisone, and
Xgeva
, to have constant "Flu-Like" symptoms, (sans a fever)? Some days, everything hurts, legs hurt at night , feel like my blood is boiling while I try to sleep. Are these "side effects" or just part of the advanced cancer?

Zometa side effects
Hello, My new oncologist prefers Zometa to
Xgeva
so I had my first infusion of this on Monday. Yesterday, Wednesday, was horrible, aches, bone pain, nausea, chills....really just awful all day. I can barely move this morning. Is this from the Zometa? Has anyone had these side effects?

FDA alert re: denosumab
This was issued specifically re: Prolia, with no mention of
Xgeva
. However patients should be alerted, and of course don't change your medications without first speaking to your doctor about this.
