My oncologists wants to put me on this IV drug to give me a better chance that I don't get bone cancer! I'm scared to death of taking this. Anyone else on this!?

I think Prolia may help with reoccurence of hormone based cancer. I am Triple Negative and I don't see any studies claiming it works for TN's. I am taking it because my bones have already weakened.

They made me go to the dentist too and get a clean bill of health. I am taking it for Osteoperosis not prevention of bone cancer. Are you taking hormone blockers? If so certsin ones may weaken your bones so they may suggest a bone strengthening treatment. You are right they have many side effects but like chemo everyone doesn't get the side effects. My ENDO who is handling my shots said in normal doses of the Prolia, jaw problems don't happen. It is when you have to take massive doses for Stsge IV cancer that there may be complications,

prolia is also suppose to provide protection from reoccurance.

I am starting Prolia injections in September. It is another type of Osteoperosis injection. It has some side effects but not as many as Reclast. Did you have a DEXA scan showing bone loss?

Is prolix the same thing?
