Denosumab XGEVA for metastatic bone cancer

Ive posted this in living with cancer but would also like to ask the nurses.

Ive been advised to have Denosumab XGEVA for cutaneous SCC metastatic bone cancer to slow the progression of the cancer and help prevent bone fractures.

Id like to know how well it is tolerated and what side effects may be experienced.

Thanks in advance
