kat in the delta
Sorry to hear of your new site. Zometa is given for bone cancer and also for osteoporosis to stop bone loss.
I am almost osteoporisis and my Onc gave my One 15min IV of Zometa while on Taxol and herceptin.
Now I will be on Arimidex, which causes more bone loss.so my Onc. is going to infuse me with Zometa again soon.
So sorry you have it in your hip--I know that is painful.
Be careful, too, don't fall....I might even get a walker if I were you.........keep me informed......my cousin has it in his vertebrae, hip, legs, lungs.......he is cont..rad and chemo. He first had surgery to put in a plate to support his leg to keep it from breaking on its own. He is a fighter.......was on a walker but finally has gotten a wheelchair, thank God--I worry about him-------he tries to do TOO MUCH--
You need to rest daily.......kat
