Xgevia And Bone Problems In Jaw.

Has anyone had bone problems with their jaw after taking Xgeva? If so how soon did it happen? I am only on my third treatment and have a tingling sensation in my upper left jaw. Is there an alternative drug that doesn't carry the same risks?

Anyone Else With IgA Kappa?.

I was diagnosed with IgA Kappa multiple myeloma. The Dr. Said it wasn't the most common. I'm on RVD therapy and thank goodness I haven't had any reactions. My oncologist at Dana Farber is adding zometa to the mix. Is there anyone else with this diagnosis and what does anyone know about zometa.

Back Pain
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I had my SCT July 14, 2022 and thanks be to God I’m in remission. I started my maintenance chemo and Zometa on November 28. I had 9 compression fractures repaired with kyphoplasty. I’m now having more back pain, especially when standing and sitting. I went to see my spine doctor yesterday. He recommended another MRI. I hope it’s not another compression fracture. I was thinking could it be a side effect of the Zometa? Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thank you, my shipmates.
