Re: Zometa question

I have osteopenia and osteoporosis (mild) but the fosamax and then boniva along with taking additional daily calcium didn't do very much. My oncologist and primary doctor both felt the Zometa was the way to go. I was at first quite reluctant but did my research. I take Femara - I was reluctant with that as well. Anyway, I will have Zometa for 3 years, 2x a year. Had my first infusion and next in Sept. I will say this. A friend of a friend who had bone mets recently had a bone scan. She had had holes throughout. She's been on Zometa for over a year. Her scan came back...there are no longer any holes in any of her bones. I personally think that is amazing and awesome news.
Hope this helps. Best to all, Robin D
