I received 4 Zometa treatments (every 6 months) due to osteopenia. I had my ovaries removed to go onto Herceptin and Arimidex so my onc thought the Zometa could be a good way to go since the osteopenia could progress to osteoporesis (due to oophorectomy/Arimidex). Plus, he said, that there is an ongoing trial to see if it prevents bone mets in those of us who have early bc (I was and still am Stage 2A).
Since Herceptin is over, I will not get anymore Zometa until May, 2007 (one year between treatments now) even though I will be on Arimidex another 3 1/2 yrs.
