I'm on firmagon monthly, was monthly on Xgeva but starting next month, it will be quarterly. Take Abiraterone and prednisone daily. Sometimes I could pull my hair out trying to figure out what med is giving me what side effect. Right now, I'm hoping the Xgeva is causing the shortness of breath and by going quarterly it will ease up, can only hope, but at the end of the day I can do shortness of breath rather then the pain I had before starting treatment. best to all

FYI - been on Arbiterone - Prednisone 18 months- no shortness of breath noted, not even on the treadmill for 1.2 miles,

If you haven’t, get checked for blood clots. I didn’t know cancer causes blood to clot much easier and came pretty close to “the end” because I had a saddle pulmonary embolism and DVT in my left leg. Had shortness of breath and eventually couldn’t breathe lying down. Couple of days in the hospital and several bags of heparin later and I was on the road to recovery. On eliquis now, cardiologist said it will be 3-6 months to fully recover… This was before I even started the cancer treatment, fun stuff!
