My doctor offered the same. So Meta every 6 months within 3 years so six doses. I don't know how many milligrams it would because I haven't made up my mind yet. The side effects of possible kidney damage and with a precaution that I should drink a lot of water before and after a session. The slower it drains the better it is. It's a drip connection into your vein and if it goes in too fast that's when you get kidney problems from my understanding. It is a slow drip taking almost over 15 minutes to 20. I had a lumpectomy one year ago, the cancer returned and now I had a mastectomy in September. Radiation is coming up soon and then I want to stop. I have no cancer cells in my bones or other parts of my body except in my lymph nodes and five were removed with the fifth one being negative. And now there is a small lesion or something on my back chest wall which has them concerned. At that point they mentioned zometa and I should do it.
