@kathysway Kathy - you just need to be sure if you need any dental procedures, i.e. crown work, root canal, tooth implantation, etc., that that is completed and healed prior to Zometa. My oncologist said that jaw necrosis is very rare. My suggestion for you as well is to plan your Zometa about future vacations. I just had mine last month so that the following one would not interfere with Christmas or New Year's. You may or may not feel like you've had the flu for a few days, but plan your life around it. The IV doesn't take that long.

Hi- I have been taking anastrozole as my estrogen blocker which can soften my bones. I just had my first infusion of Zolendraic/Zometa that is supposed to strengthen my bones. My dr husband did some research and told me that this infusion is supposed to result in 70% fewer vertebral fractures and 40% fewer bone fractures. These seem like good odds to me. Have you started your Zometa? Of course when I read about all of the side effects it is frightening, but I just felt a little out of it after my first treatment-thank goodness. I just took it easy for a couple of days. Good luck!
