Welcome @rae3. I'm glad you found us. I'm tagging fellow Connect members @wandering @barnum @silky59 and @saltis, all of whom have shared about having metastatic breast cancer. In the case of Silky, it is also bone metastases.

Rae, It must've been hard to believe that the cancer came back after 16 years. Soon after treatments one tends to think every ache and sniffle could be a sign that cancer has come back, but after 16 years, I bet this came as a shock. How are tolerating the injections?

What shots are you taking?
Trish

I have been taking Egeva for several years. The doc put me on Fulvestrant six months ago. Thanks

@194719731977, are you taking both Xgeva (denosumab) and Faslodex (fulvestrant) now? What side effects do you have to deal with?

Yes I am taking both shots. They make me very tired and at night I have pains in my heels.

The only side effects I have are sore at injection site and sore heel of my left foot.
