Hi @live, I'd like to add my welcome. You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion about Zometa (zoledronic acid). Click VIEW & REPLY to see past posts from fellow members like @roch @mbear @trixie1313 @kathysway who have had infusions with the bisphosphonate.
When will you start with treatment? What questions might you like to ask?
I refused Zometa. To me the side effects were too great including necrosis of the jaw bone which is supposedly rare. See the discussion on broken teeth etc on this forum. Good luck with your decision making. It’s a crucial skill for those on the cancer journey.

I've had two so far three months apart. About 2 days prior I get blood work done. They take about a half hour. I tend to feel achy and tired for about a week or so after having them done. However, I had a horrific fall on my knee and didn't fracture so it must be working.
