Re: Zometa
Thanks Carolyn for your input. I haven't visited with my oncologist yet but will.
I am osteopenic according to my bone density studies and have been on Boniva. However, I have been hearing and reading a little about Zometa but what I have been reading steers towards women that have bone mets. A friend of my was just prescribed Zometa and she does not have mets so that sparked my interest. If I have to take something any for bone loss I am thinking Zometa would be a double whammy in a good way as you as well indicate it's benefit of possibly decreasing the probability of bone mets.
Again thanks for the info. Any side effects that you experienced from it?
