Aclasta (Reclast) infusion tomorrow
Since I now have osteoporosis (thanks Femara!) my onc. sent me to an endocronolgist to see about getting a zolendric acid infusion. In my province they use Aclasta (5 mg. of zolendric acid) for this purpose. The dr. says I will have the infusion every 12 - 18 months.
So my first infusion is tomorrow afternoon. I'm having it infused by a nurse at a hospital, they told me to drink a lot today, tomorrow, and the next day. The dr. also advised me to take one Tylenol tonight, 3 tomorrow, and 1 -2 the day afterwards to hopefully ward off any flu-like symptoms. A friend is taking me down to the hospital so I won't have to drive home in case I don't feel well.
Any words of wisdom from anyone who has had a Zometa/Reclast/Aclasta infusion?
all the best
caya
