Denosumab (Xgeva, Prolia) and pneumonia

by faithoverfear on Mon Mar 05, 2018 9:08 pm

I recently received an initial full-strength infusion of denosumab (Xgeva, Prolia). A week later I had some difficultly catching my breath. By four weeks, I had progressed to pneumonia (diagnosis from x-ray).

I'm wondering whether I should try again. My doctor has no data to inform a decision. Say's it's my choice. Well, I don't know.

Appreciate any help.
