Living with ONJ

Hi, I would like some nice positive stories please (if possible, but if there’s only negative I kind of what to be warned too).

I have recently developed ONJ. Been on Denosumab from 2017 to 2025, stopped when tooth problems started. Had tooth removed by MaxFac dept at hospital. Now a second area of bone has appeared so looks like it’s worsening rather than improving. How long have people coped with this?
