    Late to the party... again...

    Mr. Fox man Sir:

    I feel stupid saying this, since you are so in touch with the subject but I'm getting Xgeva injectons for my bone mets.  Does that ring any sort of bell for you???? and by the way... Happy New Year.... each one's a blessing!

    xgeva

    Gordon Charles, Happy New Year! Xgeva is another drug in the category of monoclonal antibodies. It is also for strengthening the bones when bone mets are present. The things we must endure to beat this disease.

    XGEVA

    Add me to the Xgeva list. I've been on it since April. However, I'm missing my scheduled shot this week because my calcium level dropped below normal.

    Calcium 600+D

    My oncologist has me on 1 tab twice a day and my calcium level seems to be holding.  If you aren't already on it you might want to ask your doc.  Just a thought.

    calcium

    I've meant to ask her about adding calcium. (because my wife told me to ask her. but I forgot.) My calcium numbers have remained spot on.

    A random thought

    Fox man..... As I tiptoe in and out of this website, I am always taken by your forthright approach to things.  I imagine your personal RCC wonders why it attacked you in the first place.  A VERY formidable adversary are you!  My money is on your cancer cutting it's losses and just going away quietly.

    600-D

    My low calcium was self-inflicted. I take 1 tab twice daily also. Problem was I was taking it with my thyroid medication. Thyroid meds must be taken at least 4 hours from calcium and prilosec,both of which I am on. I got a little lax with the calcium,which I believe led to my low reading. Doc will be checking it my next bloodwork in 2 weeks.
