Re: Dental work & Zometa

Thank you Elaine, my recent dexa showed severe osteopenia and couldnt take Fosamax due to tummy isuue's so my onc felt zometa had to be given as I chose to remain on arimidex after my five years were up, thanks for your input and think I do need an antibiotic first anyway to treat the abccess!
(I preferred to deal with bone loss than a recurrance so felt this was the lessor of two evil's!)
