When I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer almost 4 years ago a bone scan showed that the cancer was definitely in my bones. My oncologist started me immediately on a once monthly shot of xgeva. My current bone scans have shown significant improvement in my bones. I am now on a quarterly shot of xgeva. It is very expensive (about $2,000 per shot) but my secondary insurance and medicare cover the cost. I also eat a Tums daily along with several vitamin pills. I was on arimidex for 3 years but it quit working for me so I am now on a monthly shot of faslodex. It seems to be doing the job. Some hair thinning seems to be my main symptom - I have started using a hair thickening shampoo. I have some bone and joint pain but take two Advil pills a day. So far, so good. Best wishes.
