Hello love,

how many cycles did you have? Mine were stopped after 4, I had dreadful neuropathy and onco said I was in danger of it becoming permanent. ( happy to say it's subsided somewhat) 

The zometa infusion is a bisphosphonate, I'm on something similar in tablet form. The zometa is a double pronged attack, not only will it prevent cancer creeping to the bones it's a bone strengthening med ( I have osteopenia) so it's a win win med and Defo worth taking.

The dental check up is to make sure you don't have loose teeth and your jaw is in good order,any work will need to be Carried out before the I fusion. There is a very small risk of a weakening of the jaw on this med. Will you be having them every 6 months? I know a few ladies on it and having no problems at all. In fact I'm considering having the infusion instead of the daily pills, as they can be a right faff ....

dont be worried about the zometa.....it's belt and braces and we're lucky we can have it, so try and look at it in a new positive light....

Hey Angie,

Hope you are alright. It's a beautiful day where I am. I'm trying to keep steering my thoughts away from the cliff edge this afternoon and having a bit of success.
