I am getting Zometa IV every 6 months. My last DEXA in June showed no progression in 2 years so I will probably only get the Zometa once a year (no other treatment (ie: Fosamax) except for calcium with D). I also run 5-6 times per week for a total of 28 miles per week. I was very happy. I will probably go on Fosamax or something like it after Arimidex is over as then, the loss won't be as severe as now.
