Dear XXXXXXX

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well what did your doctor decide, to hold denosumab or not? Then what drug will he be starting you on? One thing is very important you should hold up on stocking calcium and vitamin D supplements in the body as they are essential for bone metabolism. Also I would like to see your Bone mineral density report so that may be able to guide you more regarding this. If possible please send the reports. If our advise is helpful to you in any way, the pleasure is all ours. Any other query please ask .

Take care.
