SVT and more bur MRNOJ is my last diagnosis and they want to do surgery.

Hello @kenyalama, I'd like to invite @lee59 to this discussion as they have discussed necrosis of the jaw after chemo.
@kenyalama, there are also a handful of discussion around jaw necrosis issues based around osteoporosis medications. If you are comfortable sharing, was there a particular medication or treatment for one of your listed diagnoses that specifically triggered the MRNOJ?
The medicine I took that caused it was Prolia; given for severe osteoporosis. 2 injections. I knew my bones were bad. steroid’s given during aggressive chemo were also harmful. Even with “ great” insurance, the generic FORTEO will cost me between $1500 and $4000 per month.
