Hi Joy
I am on zometa once every four weeks.
I have been 'lucky' so far as I haven't had to have any chemo although the Dr has warned me that this is a probability later on down the track (perhaps if the hormone treatments don't pan out).
I think the mortality bit was really very hard for me at first but then I thought how lucky I was that I could have this 'warning' that I won't be around forever. It has made me really appreciate my beautiful family and the many wonderful things in my life. Not so easy on my husband though who refuses even to accept that I will die sooner than we expected. He is very positive about it all which is nice in one way but then very hard to 'live up to' in another way - does that make sense? An extra pressure, I guess, to always try to be positive which , as we all know, just isn't the reality.
Hope you are feeling well at the moment.
Take care
