Hi Vicki! You got some good questions there. I'm sure you'll get some good responses to help with your decision. For what it's worth, Nicola received a Zometa infusion once a month when she was on chemo., sorry I can't remember the amount, but I have read here of many women receiving Zometa every 3 months or every 6 months, I think. Maybe one option would be to sit back and keep researching, like you are now, and possibly pay out-of-pocket once or twice a year. In my way of thinking, that way you would still receive the proven benefits of Zometa, and at the same time, more data/research info. would become available to you over that period. And who knows, possibly your insurance situation could change also during that time. Is it a 12k deal or nothing? I'm not an expert on meds. or money, mind you, just offering my thoughts. Good luck to you.
