Just wondering what you decided. My husband was told to go on denosumab due to bladder cancer metasizing to bone. I am now on it for osteoporosis and am trying to get off it. Coming off it has a variety of concerns which I was not told about until on it for 2 years. Cancer is a different animal however. We are trying to know what to do also. He is on prednisone to manage side effects which also very bad for bones. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
