My cancer doctor said everything has healed and that I am good to go for the surgery. I have not seen a neurosurgeon yet that probably will not happen to August or September and I will ask a lot of questions before I have it done. I have already walked this morning .5 mile this morning. I feel good today. Thank you all for the response. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. .

Hi Sandra. I had Kyphoplasty in 2017, T4. The physician said it didn't work because my bones were "too mushy". One year later, I was in such pain I went to another doctor who said I had Multiple Myeloma. Mushy bones are a symptom of MM. Long story short, 1 year later I had surgery to remove a MM plasmacytoma, which caused the fracture in T4. In 2021, I had 6 months of chemo. No stem cell transplant. I take Revlimid 10 mg as maintenance and doing great. I would recommend a 2nd opinion on the Kyphoplasty. Good luck.

I buy mine at Sprouts Market. I’m sure you could order it online if you wanted. I have never heard of Calcium, magnesium, D3 or K2 affecting chemo. The K2 tells the calcium to go to the bones. Super important.

Where do I find the MRM Bone Maximizer III. I am taking 1200 mg of Calcium with D3 a day. Will K2 have any effect on my chemo medicine.

Sandra,
I have severe osteoporosis and issues all over my hips and spine. I could not drive because of the pain in my hip. I decided if MM takes out the calcium, I was going to put it back in. I take MRM Bone Maximizer III and extra D3 & K2 which tell the calcium to go to the bones. I had to stop driving for 6 months because of the pain. That was 3 years ago. Today, I am doing great. No surgery.
