I can’t answer that with certainty - was told,every 6 months , so that’s the regime I’ve started ( it’s possible because I’m already osteoporotic, and I know i had triple positive breast cancer - Oncologist said it would also help “prevent” any loose HER2 cells recurring in bone ( it’s not a,guarantee, but it does help prevent ) . As my tumour did not totally regress at surgery after AC and taxcel, I’m now on kadcycla or T-DMI (a herceptin and another agent) which is a new therapy for early breast ca patients .gives you a extra 12% insurance against recurrences , when compared to,herceptin alone according to KATHERINE study. That may also be why every six months -I’m on a chemo,regime which will affect bones as well,as hormone therapy. I will,ask next time I see her .
I noticed @glemmis mentioned 6 monthly zometa too so it may depend on your bone status

? I have been taking 600mg calcium and vitae tablets as well twice a day, but last week my blood,tests flagged excess,calcium in blood so,I’m off them for a week and redoing bloods Monday . The never ending cycle continues !
