Your Experience with Zometa
Hi All,
I am trying to make the decision whether or not to begin Zometa. The benefits are very clear to me but I'm concerned about side effects and risks. I know about the jaw osteonecrosis (I will have to be cleared by my dentist) but are there any other side effects out there or other things I need to consider. Also, how often did you get an infusion and for how long?
Any info you could give would be greatly appreciated.
