Zometa
Quick question. Is it common for doctors to prescribe Zometa to "prevent" bone metastasis or is it usually prescribed when one "has" bone metastasis? Thanks in advance for any replies. The internet has not helped answer this question and I like to be somewhat knowledgable when I see my oncologist as I have learned (from this site) that sometimes we know more then they do!
