I asked my onc about this drug and was told it's not available in the hospital I attend,(although I believe it is available in Ireland) as my last dexa showed severe osteopenia I'm now going to begin yearly iv's of zometa but it's sad I'll have to opt out of the bone trial I've been in for five years to take this drug!
Thanks for the info Lani!
