I've been on ZYTIGA, Lupron, and Prednisone for 10 months now. PSA is non detectable for the last 7 months. I've had very bad fatigue from all this. I had a tumor at the top of my femur which was radiated and they put a titanium rod in the femur to strengthen the bone. When they put the rod in the femur bone broke. It has been very slow to heal. My oncologist started me on Zometa infusion this week. The Zometa has hit me hard. I can barely get out of bed in the morning. And then two hours later, I have to crawl back in bed. I go through the whole day like this.

Has anyone had similar experience from Zomeda?

From Mayoclinic

Yes, fatigue is a common side effect of Zometa (zoledronic acid) infusions. Many sources list tiredness or fatigue among the most frequently reported symptoms, often occurring alongside other mild effects such as fever, bone or muscle pain, and flu-like symptoms. This fatigue may develop soon after the infusion and can last for a few days. If fatigue becomes severe or persistent, it is important to inform your healthcare provider

I had an Zometa infusion yesterday (the 4th) Tom and never noticed a fatigue problem.

It may be an interaction with Abiraterone. The two together.
