Re: zometa or reclast with no mets to bone?
Hi Michele,
I developed osteoporosis while on Femara (had osteopania before BC, osteoporosis runs in my family, my Mom and 2 maternal aunts have it). My oncologist agreed for me to see an endocronologist to have a Reclast infusion - double whammy they said, it would treat my osteoporosis and help prevent a recurrence.
I had the infusion, felt fine that day, but had a rough night and following day - despite taking Tylenol before, during and after the infusion. I was fine after a couple of days. My endocronologist said studies are showing the Reclast should stay in my system for about 18 months, so that is when I will get my next infusion.
all the best
