Dr Varshavsky Explained my diarrhea and breaking teeth may be related to XGEVA. It can be stopped at this point. But to prevent a rebound effect on my bones, she recommended1 dose of zometa at my local cancer appointment in 6 months.in typical style, she always has an order for any complication. She Is Brilliant!
