Re: Question about Zometa protocol/regimen. Any changes?
Hi Vicki,
I'm not certain but think I recall reading some newer reports that showed zometa is not as good as first thought in preventing mets.
I just had my first infusion last Thursday due to osteopenia and almost five years on arimidex but my onc is only proposing a once a year dose which took about fifteen minutes. Maybe someone else knows more about this.
