I refused the Zometa and I had to sign a document to that effect. In my opinion the side effects are worse than some of the cancer drugs especially the jaw and teeth. The study which is documented in another Zometa discussion on the Mayo forum shows 6% less of bone fractures than No Zometa and it does not have any anti cancer properties. I’m keeping my bones strong with proper diet, sunshine/vitamin D-K3 ,daily treadmill with incline and some yoga.
I don’t know how to link this discussion withe other one but the administrator can do it. It’s worth reading.
Best wishes to all of us as we search for a way out.

Thanks for your message. I had breast cancer but they caught it very early and I had a lumpectomy and radiation. I am on letrozole for 4 more years and the side effect is osteoporosis. I am 61 and just had a dexa scan - t score shows -2.8 lumbar. I have never broken a bone in my life. Going to keep my bones strong with proper diet and exercise.
I think I am also going to say no to Zometa.
