Zometa vs Pamidronate
Hi,
I haven't posted in awhile since I feel a little guilty doing so after I crossed over to the triple negative side. I lurk because I like to see how you all are doing. So, I hope you don't mind if I post this.
Is Zometa better than Pamidronate? I know they are both used to heal and strengthen bones. However, there has been a lot of press about Zometa possibly slowing the progression of the disease. Is the same true for all bone strenghten drugs or just Zometa?
Thanks, Tonya
