Zometa
hi everyone, I'm interested to hear your experiences with Zometa. I am more scared of that than anything else for some reason. Thanks

- Hi Etta,
I have never had any reaction to Zometa - now on it 3 monthly. As with Xgeva, there is a small risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw, which can be nasty. I am extremely careful about oral health.
Best wishes.... Pam - hi Etta, I am a fan of Zometa , it has helped control the pain from bone mets , reduced the calcium in my blood ,and I won't be a bigger risk of fracture.
It can be difficult the first few infusions , but rest and plenty of fluids help.
I have been on it 21 months now and no problems
