Zometa inf
Hi Ladies,
I have just moved interstate and have a new onc who I have not met yet but who called me the other day to discuss my Zometa infusions. I have had 1 inf and was scheduled to have 2 x yearly and was very happy with this decision after seeing on here others having the same.
However I am now in West Australia and they do not recognise this treatment method for Osteopena (sp?). The onc is going to contact my old onc to discuss reasoning and has said if I really want to continue he will but says the trials are not supporting its use for either assisstance with bone density or the slight reduction of bone mets occurance?
Any advice would be gratefully received
Thanks
Jenny
