XGEVA

Afternoon Girls,

Anyone on Xgeva?? can you tell me if you are having injections monthly or otherwise???

I was having them every 4 weeks since April 2016 now out of the blue they have changed it to 6 weekly. Another 'thing' making me nervous along with the tm's.

    thanks @angg66 . I have bone mets & started on Xgeva in April last year & last Onc visit she said now every 6 weeks but didnt explain why & became somewhat, shall we say "agitated" when I kept asking questions & got me out of the consult room as quickly as she could - or thats how it felt anyway...

    Hi Cate

    I am on Xgeva injections and have been on them for a few years. I used to have them once every 6 weeks, and then the oncologist changed them to once every 3 months. Once I was diagnosed with bone mets last year, it is back to once every 6 weeks. My understanding is that the Xgeva injection helps with bone health. If you are concerned talk to your oncologist.
