About Zometa

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I was diagnosed with breast cancer last July and had a mastectomy in August. I am currently having Herceptin injections very three weeks and am about to start Zometa bone infusions. I am worried about the implications for jaw problems and have read that Zometa mixed with Herceptin can be a factor in causing the jaw disease. Can anyone comment?
