Re: how many of you are getting Zometa?
Hi Jean,
I have had four Zometa treatments (2 x yr)and will have a total of six. I asked for a bone density test when I started on Femara and was dx'd with osteopenia of the lumbar spine. My insurance (PPO) has covered the treatments. I have no idea if my osteopenia has improved since I have not had a follow-up bone density test....I think I will request one before my next infusion in August.
