Re: Zometa
Hi,
The pills made me queasy so I had a generic of zometa by iv once a year for four years. It reversed my Osteopenia completey that was caused by Arimidex which I took for ten years. Only the first infusion gave me flu like symptoms but after that the rest were fine. I think the issue with a risk of fractures only happens after more than five years on this which is why I asked my Onc if we could stop at four years and she agreed.
