I still have my port...may start Zometa
I still have my port which was left-over from Herceptin. My onc told me to hang on to the port.
So I've been thinking of getting the Zometa insted of taking the oral meds that I'm taking now. He said I could have it if I wanted it. He also mentioned that he has given it to many many people without many side effects. Whenever I ask him about side effects, he doesn't seem to be too aware of them. Maybe people don't complain enough!
I'm seriously considering the Zometa, as it may prevent bone mets. I sure hate to start something that makes you feel sick, though. The oral meds for bone loss cause some muscle aches and bone pain, but it is something that I can tollerate.
