Denosumab

Hi

I am due to start Denosumab injections this week. I feel unsure about it but have been advised by the oncologist it would benefit me. I have had two areas of bone metastasis in the last year.

does anyone have experience of this bone strengthening treatment? 

Thanks

  • Hi

    i also have two areas of bone mets  and have had Denosumab  injections  for the last twelve months  ( previously was on Zometa) along  with Calcium tablets and I have had no side effects at all from it .The injection takes about 10 seconds in the fatty part  of the top of my arm - don ‘t feel a thing!  The Oncologist tells me that Denosumab is “Superior. “ Hope this helps and wishing you good luck.

     

  • Hi

    Thank you so much for your positive response! Reading of all the possible side effects is so off putting.

    have you had any radiotherapy on your mets? I had a one off concentrated dose on mine. It was very helpful on my rib last Sept, had another treatment on my spine about 2months ago. It has helped a lot but still in some pain. Thanks for your help.
