I have been on proph. Zometa for about 2 yrs now. I get it IV every 6 mo. with no problems.
I actually asked my onc for it as there are trials currently running for proph use.
Zometa is FDA approved for Ostepenia, which most of us have, so Ins will cover it.
There can be significant side effects which can put docs off from rec it.
For me , it worh it.
The one thing I would advise is if you do plan on going on it, Make sure you have any pending dental work done first.
Hope this helps.
