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 ❤️

I'm almost 60 yrs old and had my first Zometa infusion this past October 2024 and due for my next one in April 2025 (every 6 months). Taking Letrozole for 2 yrs put me into Osteoporois (invasive lobular cancer - lumpectomy, radiation completed in January 2023). I now need about four crowns to protect old filling that have cracks - I was told having crowns is NOT a risk while on Zometa and my Prosthodontist is very cautious - I want to avoid treatment for a total crack in my tooth - now after reading many comments I am very nervous about having even a crown while on Zometa. Have you gals had a crown while on Zometa? I already had sensitive teeth -and suffer from TMJ as a grinder but have a very good mouthguard I wear nightly which has really helped. Any advice welcome...xooxox
