Experiences with

Zometa

What's best for ostoepenia: LIFTMORE Study-type exercises, prolia, zometa, or something else?I have mild osteopenia. The oncologist offered Prolia but it has a 2.7/10 rating on webmd and drugs.com. Zometa has a 4.8/10 rating. Most people gave 1/10 ratings for Prolia. Zometa wasn't much better.

My husband is starting Zometa tomorrow/mon and will have his 1st RA223 treatment on tues. Any recommendations to minimize his side effects? I believe I read somewhere that drinking sports drinks might possibly be of assistance? Thank you for any advice.

I messaged my MO some of the symptoms like blurred vision dizziness confusion light-headedness lethargy and his response was sorry you're not feeling well, you need to consider adding zometa. He's really a nice doctor so it shouldn't be too hard to fire him.

Zometa was recommended by my MO as a way to preclude any "bounceback" following the end to 4 years of Xgeva.

I think I need to jump to Zometa or denosumab soon. (Currently also using lupron and nubeqa for HSPC or CRPC)

All treatment to be the same as before, except th MO wants to change from Prolia to Zometa. Anyone use both of those, Prolia and Zometa? Experiences?

I still take 3 month Lupron and 6 month Zometa. I started Docetaxel about 6 weeks ago and have now developed a bad case of the “I’m having a hard time giving a sh-t anymore”. I am 100% safe, and have an appointment with a counselor, but this is so not typical of me. Thanks in advance. Jim

Currently on Brukinsa and will be soon be starting Zometa (bone resorption infusion). Apparently, it is quite rare to have CLL that also presents with bone damage. In my case, I had a walnut sized tumor in my T12 vertebrae that had to be radiated.

Then had meeting with oncology team and am now on a regimen of ibrance , anastrozole and zometa once a month . I get a cat scan every four months . I am doing ok and am very fortunate to live in Scotland and get such amazing treatment and not have to pay either .

One week ago received HRT and Zometa at same clinic appointment Feeling deliriously exhausted he took a 24 hour mini time off a day ago. Amazingly…Feeling much better. Not sure if one day off occasionally will be long term health consequences.

I’m currently on a Xtandi, Zometa and Lupron and have occasional foot numbness. Has anyone else experienced this?

Onco has suggested Zometa as husband has been on ADT for several years. I am reluctant to throw another med at him if it's not definitely necessary. So would you recommend Dexa scan to check for problems before simply accepting Zometa?

Started on Lupron, Nubeqa and Zometa. That worked very well and over six months brought PSA under 1 and felt pretty good. Then in January 2024 that started to fail and PSA started rising.

Started Abiraterone/Pred, Lupron, Zometa in September, so have been on it 2.5yrs. The lowest my PSA got was 0.14 in January 2023 and has been incrementally rising since then. Had a couple bigish jumps including last one and now my PSA is at 1.08.

Hi everyone, Is anyone here on Abiraterone and Prednisone with Zometa infusions but without Lupron? My dad's oncologist recently mentioned that he "doesn't need Lupron," which I don’t fully understand.

Zometa infusions caused renal issues so he’s on Xgeva again which is now keeping the calcium under 11. He also experienced a blood clot in his lung and femur November 2024. Freqent bladder infections as well.

Was given Degarelix and Zometa. The Apalutamide pills were due today by FedEx but was contacted by my oncologist to wait before taking as she wants to discuss a clinical trial with me. In opinions out there, are clinical trials a Good or Bad thing?

My Oncologist wants me to take Prolia, but the Insurance will not pay for it and wants me to take Zometa. However, I did research on Zometa and its reputation is questionable. What are the alternatives? Xgeva seems better. Any thoughts about this.

My MO mentioned a possible switch to Zometa. That med appears to have worse S/E. Thanks!

I’m currently on an Xtandi, Zometa and Lupron treatment plan. Could there be a correlation between one of these drugs and chronic sinus stuffiness? I also take a cholesterol drug and 3 different blood pressure meds. Thanks in advance if anyone has information. My Best Jim
