I just started exemestane and will be getting a dexa soon. Oncologist suggested also starting on Zometa. Her reasoning is because based on the Lancet 2015 meta analysis, it decreases mortality. Has anyone else heard of this from their oncologist?

Yes @brighterdays, my Oncologist also said that women who have had breast cancer and have been on on Zometa have a higher 10 year survival rate. I will have my second infusion in October and I am making sure to drink a lot of water the day of the infusion and I will be telling myself over and over during the infusion that Zometa will help me and it will not harm me. I had 3 spinal compression fractures last fall right about the same time as my bc diagnosis and they are the pits. A good PT does help tremendously but it's just something you continue to deal with. Sending love and healing wishes to all ❤️
