Metastatic breast cancer: Anyone else?

I was on Xgeva for 6 years.  Caused me to have osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ).  Very serious.  Will eventually need to have my jaw bolted with a metal plate.  ONJ is a major side effect of Xgeva so you might want to check on that.

Hi @wandering! Welcome back. So good to hear from you. Although I'm saddened to hear that you are dealing with osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). With the jaw bolted are you still able to eat and chew or are you using a feeding tube?
