"I have lung cancer with mets to bone. Two hours after the injection, I experienced the worst pain ever in my life! I walked into the infusion area without any body pain, just a very slight backache which Advil was helping, and 2 hours later I was crippled. It's 2 weeks now, and I'm either in a wheelchair or walking around the house with a cane. Horrible, horrible medication. I now take oxycontin every 12 hours and oxycodone every 3 hours. Refuse this drug if you are smart. Even my oncologist is 'surprised' with the side effects I have. I refuse to have a second injection of Xgeva."
