Re: Bad news on biphosphonates for longer than four years use...
I saw my onc last week and was surprised when he told me that the 4 treatments I had received of Zometa would be enough, and that I would not need more infusions. But this article explains why.
Earlier, my onc had planned for more than four injections of Zometa (I received one infusion every 6 months), but I never knew exactly how many.
