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?

Xgeva dose
However, I now have
Xgeva
injections every six months. I am curious to know if others have had a reduction in
Xgeva
. Thanks!

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?

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.

Xgeva Side Effects
Just wondering if there is a better alternative to
Xgeva
that doesn’t have these severe side effects. I’m going to address this, again, next month, with my doctor. Until then….Thank you for listening!!! Jody

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.

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?

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

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?

Lupron and Xgeva injection timing.
I am getting the
Xgeva
at my oncologist and they said they could do both on the same day and they would be 28 days apart because that is what
Xgeva
and one month Lupron are to be given at.

Thank you all
After all my do diligence on PIQRAY my oncologist threw me a curve ball and decided to go with Verzenio faslodex and
xgeva
. Because i had higher % of Ers1 mutations then Pik3ca mutations. So this past thursday i received my first faslodex shots and
xgeva
shot.

ONJ? WTF
So after 4.5 years of monthly
Xgeva
. It looks like I have early stage ONJ. It showed up in the form of an ulcer like thing in the roof of my mouth that didn’t go away. It hurts and radiates out to my head, jaw and ear. I am cranky. Like stay the heck out of my way cranky. So.

bone marrow
I had Mets only to left lung 4 in spine and with
xgeva
no new Mets. Does the scan yesterday mean the MBC is now in my bone marrow this seems scary to me. I’m 71 and was originally diagnosed in 2012 November. I see me oncologist on the 9th. Thanks for listening.

What do you think?
I’ve been on Lupron and
Xgeva
since 2014 and have had many other treatments along the way. As my PSA rose I found my best treatment was Xtandi. I had pretty good results from 2017 to 2020 , then my PSA moved upward again.

Any advice for sister with MBC
She received radiation which reduced rib pain and started on Verenzio on February 19th, in combination with Anastrozole and
Xgeva
shot.
