New here and Zometa ?
Hi! I'm 48 and was recently diagnosed with Stage IV MBC in March (amidst all this lovely Covid craziness). I'm currently on 100mg of Ibrance and 2.5 mg of Letrizole, and had ovaries removed in July to throw me into menopause which has been lovely. My Onc wants me to start Zometa infusions but I keep

Zometa for strengthening bones
Hello Friends. During my last appt with my MO, he told me that I would no longer be receiving Zometa for my bones (after 4 infusiones every 3 months). I have bone metástasis throughout my body and lift wts and run every day, so this worrys me. He insists that the protocol is just 4 infusiones for life

Swelling feet and ankles
Hi All, Just as a reminder, I am in treatment for MBC (Verzenia, Zometa, Faslodex) and have been on the same treatment for about a year. Suddenly, in the last couple of weeks, my feet and ankles have started to swell. It gets progressively worse throughout the day. I try to elevate my feet as much

Zoladex and Enzalutamide?
Good evening all!

Clinical trials coming soon!
I went through a enormous amount of tests yesterday, My PSA has risen from 4.3 to 17.9 and new bone Mets have appeared , multiple new ones were visable on the ribs and eliac, I believe I am experiencing pain as a result. I am concerned this harpoon trial will not be effective, and further delay a treatment

Slammed by Zometa Infusion
I've had quite a few infusions of Zometa over about 2 years, but I had an extreme reaction to this one. It has really slammed me. I have had a consistent fever since the day after infusion and feel completely drained. Been in bed most of today. It reminds of chemo although less intense. I went in and

Good news on tumor markers
Hi Everyone! Always enjoy reading your posts, and I could not think of a better spot to share this good news. My onc/nurse practitioner continue to send out for 27/29 tests on my blood every few months. I don't know their schedule, they just do it. Since 27/29 seems to be a good indicator for me,

Zometa reaction on 1st round vs. subsequent rounds
I had my first round of Zometa recently as bone-directed therapy. It was a rough ride for a few days after that first infusion. I read that basically that first-round risk isn't too unusual. But, I'm wondering if anyone reading this has had a similar experience, and then subsequent rounds of it

Zometa vs Xgeva
Hello everyone! I have not posted in a very long time. I had bone density test and the Letrozole has wreaked havoc on my bones. So I'm going to start bone strengthening injections-it will either be Zometa or Xgeva. I'm just wondering what anyone's experiences been with either of these drugs. As always
