Vicki I'd have liked to been given this after treatment but am part of a the Azure trial to find out if it's actually worth giving zometa as standard straight after chemo or in conjunction as adjuvant therapy. I'm in year three of a five year trial and sadly drew the short straw and am int he control group so get nothing
There are no definate answer's yet but I believe the early findings are very promising. Maybe it'll be like herceptin when that first came out and they'll call people back for it when they know for sure. It's possible this is given as standard already in the States but unfortunatly not in Ireland as yet for early stage bc.
