Experiences with

Zometa

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?

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?

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

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.

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.

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?

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 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

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

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

Just don't understand the Dexa denial and the push of the Zometa if it's not going prevent SRE's. Any thoughts on this? Thx

He thinks it’s Zometa. Anybody else had a similar experience?I have been doing Zometa for 6 years.

MO scheduled me for Zometa on 4/11. Do I need another dental clearance first?

I was put on femara and Zometa. Then 2018 switched to ibrance , fasladex and Zometa. Oncologist retired so I went too Sloan. I ended up with necrosis of jaw. Got really bad. Hospital 11 days. Home with pic line.

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?

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.

Anyone else get zometa injection s to strengthen bones ?

Her death of course has made me go to the darkest of places.I have been stable on Herceptin/ Prejeta and Zometa with liver mets now undetectable and no progression to bone mets for four years.

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.

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?
