Hi Eric -
I have been getting Zometa every 6 weeks for a little over a year. Prior to that I had it every 3 weeks when I got my Herceptin for about 18 months.

I had the beginnings of bone mets along with my very extensive liver mets. I took fosamax during the chemo for those mets and once pronounced NED was put on Zometa as a bone strengthener AND preventative.

Seems I do fine on this schedule and my med onc says this lessens the risk of side effects.
