Bone Strengthening Agents Following Immunotherapy / Radiation?
Hi! Looking for cancer patients to please let me know if they have had any success trying a bone strengthening agent following treatment. I had Stage 4 and endured brain surgery, radiation to brain and lung, keytruda (no good - made the tumor enlarge and come closer to my heart); then a doublet 3 x with the standard opdivo and yervoy and then just opdivo like 50x…I ended treatment in Dec 2021 and immediately had a pneumothorax and rib fracture. The rib fractures have continued about every 6 mths - I am very active but have amended my workouts, diet and supplementation, PT, acupuncture, chiropractor etc so many times! Surgery on that area may not be helpful (rib cage) bc there is no guarantee…and the bone issues seem to be spreading now. Waiting on my most recent scan results, but I thought that maybe someone, somewhere…had positive results doing something I had not thought of? Thank you!
