Zometa and Dexa scan
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
?

Drugs and high Calcium
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.

Chronic sinus issues
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

Zometa and Calcium
I have started quarterly infusions per MO instructions. Should I discontinue 1200 mg calcium/25 mcg Vit D ?

Zometa and Dental Clearance
MO scheduled me for

Question about clinical trials
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?

Zometa side effects
Hello, My new oncologist prefers
Zometa
to Xgeva so I had my first infusion of this on Monday. Yesterday, Wednesday, was horrible, aches, bone pain, nausea, chills....really just awful all day. I can barely move this morning. Is this from the
Zometa
? Has anyone had these side effects?

Jaw necrosis. Check up. Better safe than sorry. Thought I would get away with dying from my PC before I would need to be at a dentist lol.
So delayed my
Zometa
infusion and I’ll get in to the dentist. Interestingly or importantly, she told me jaw necrosis does not have pain symptoms. It can be developing without pain. The rest after development we've heard here on the forum.

OsteoDex: for mCRPC bone metastasis!
clinical trials are going well, and results are better than with
zometa
or Denosumab! https://mb.cision.com/Main/11652/3853506/2358495.pdf

Starting treatments
Degarelix injections with
Zometa
Infusions. Afterward, want to do Apalutamide Oral and probable Proton Therapy down the road. Due to the heart attack while in the hospital and the added medications for the heart and diabetes; the PSA number was at 348.00 on June 16.

Zometa

Pathologic fracture of Iliac crest
I had just restarted
zometa
infusions and I hope they would help but my limp, pain, and limited mobility continued. Interestingly, my golf swing is fine an dI can do that...but I can't walk. I suspect the doctor will nix the golf. Has anyone experienced this kind of pathologic fracture?

radiation or screws for fracture?
The orthopedic oncologist is advising to wait and see, treat it with
Zometa
, Piqray, and light exercise, and eventually screws if it continues to aggravate me. The radiation doc wants to schedule a round of radiation to an area that was radiated 4+ years ago.

infusion Side Effects
The radiation was a walk in the park compared to the 1030-1048
Zometa
infused Wednesday morning. Holy cow ! Peed (a few dribbles) every half hour. Chills then sweats. Bone ache throughout and head felt like I’d gone out on an all night binger, which I don’t. To cap it off,it brought on insomnia.
