Dear Chelee

I started Zometa after I was already 4 months into Herceptin. When I received my first Zometa, of course it was also with a Herceptin treatment but the next day, I had flu-like symptoms (like Gerri said) but I actually had a fever of 101. You probably did too. I promise you this symptom will never happen again. Also, I had bone aches and so does my mom when she gets her Zometa.

Hang in there baby. You're doing good and the Zometa symptoms will get less intense.

Love and hugs
