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.

Advice for upcoming Chemo treatment
We began with Lupron (every 3 months) and
XGEVA
monthly. His PSA dropped down to 13 and we were so happy and thankful. Unfortunately, his PSA levels began climbing. I had read about how great Zytiga was and I wanted my dad to try it.

One-Year In -- Looking for help with a medical plan
Also started monthly
XGeva
injections. No other medication. Results, with quarterly PSA tests: PSA dropped to 0.85-0.90 range where it is now. Side effects minimal with only many hot flashes early but very minimum now. Fatigue and some leg weakness is now starting to materialize.

Newbie with questions
I’m treating with Firmagon and
Xgeva
every 4 weeks, casodex and prednisone daily, docetaxel and neulasta every 3 weeks. Plan is to add Zytiga after we finish the 6 docetaxel treatments. I wouldn’t wish Docetaxel on my worst enemy, but i’m over half finished.

Low Testosterone Level
I'm stage 4 close to 5 years since devinci removal, lupron, casodex and
xgeva
, PSA under 0.02. Question - my testosterone level is "3" which sounds good but I can't get a response I understand on its relationship with PSA, etc.

MD Anderson today
Will continue Lupron and
Xgeva
shots. I am preparing for bone scan and then CT, after which Dr Corn will co suit with his colleagues, so I suppose this isn’t his final recommendation just yet but I think unless any results are drastically unexpected it will be. My PSA is down from 556 to 2.6.
