Re: Should I consider taking Zometa?
Hi Marica,
I was not very well informed about zometa when I completed my treatment but I did develop osteopenia. So, I was given Evista since it serves both purposes - that is, it prevents bone loss as well as works almost the as same as Tamoxifen for the ER+ status.
Fyi - I too am weakly ER+ (~5%)
