Dental opinion for Zometa
Hi everyone, I understand that a dental opinion is needed when taking Zometa because osteronoposis of the jaw is a side effect. What I wanted to know was what does a dentist look for when examining a patient. Is it possible dental work which might be needed as it is not advisable to get dental work

More on Zometa timing
Good news, I think! I've been following the several recent posts about Zometa, since my MO wants me to start. I was surprised when she told me that the infusions would be every 3 MONTHS, because the recent posts here suggested that the protocol was every 3 WEEKS. Her reply: "The original FDA approval

Xgeva vs Zometa
My husband is now castrate resistant, with extensive progressive bone mets. He will be starting Jevtana unless the Lu-177 expanded access opens up soon. His MO also wants him to start Xgeva, but our insurance pushed back and wants him to use the less expensive Zometa. This surprised me, as we have never

Petscan showed progression. Moving from Ibrance to Piqray. Terrified.
I'm ER/PR positive, Her2-Negative with the Pic3 mutation. My last Petscan showed progression in the right breast where my open tumor is. Working on getting that removed in the next month. Also a few bone mets showed up. Now my onc is moving me to Piqray, Fulvestrant (which I'm already on) and adding

Zometa
My onocologyst had suggested zometa, bone strengthener. I do have 2 small bone leisions. From last CT scan are healing. She is giving me this for preventative and strengthening. Has anybody had this zometa? Thoughts? Side effects? Thanks ❤🙏 Deb

Uric Acid stones
Chuck just had two kidney stones removed (one 17 mm and one 6 mm) and a stent inserted. Just got back the results and they are uric acid stones. Just read what can cause them on the dietary spectrum but wanted to find out if anyone else has had these on Xtandi, Eligard or Zometa? He’s had one before

Xgeva versus Zometa HELP PLEASE
They are switching me from Zo meta-to Xgeva can anyone tell me if they’ve been switched and which one they like better, side effects. I’m scared I’m truly scared, I hate switching medications. I’m hoping that by switching to the Xgeva that my eyes clear up with the tearing and leaking. It’s keeping me
