Has Anybody Been On Zometa ( Zolendronic Acid ) ? What Were Your Reactions And Side Effects ? Thank You, Curt
Isn't that the I.V that helps protect your bones, during MM treatment? It's been a while. I guess it had bad negative reaction I would remember. I'll have to look at my journal from a few years ago… read more

Can Anyone Tell Me Their Experience With Zometa Or Xgeva? How Long They Have To Take It In The Side Effects.
I was switched to Arredia. I had flu like symptoms from zometa. Everyone is different.

Like magapapermaker, my oncologist also just started me on Zometa every 3 months. I’m also in remission and my calcium results are within normal range. It’s more of a preventative move on his part.

Anybody Here Takes Prolia Every 6 Months, Instead Of Xgeva Or Zometa Every Month For Bone Strength?
What Doctors Have You Added To Your Team For Bone Issues?
My MM is in remission and I am now being treated for Osteoporosis. What kind of doctors did you see to understand the state of your bones, especially your spine, and to ensure you knew what it was ok to do and what you need to avoid as well as how to improve their health?
