Zoledronic acid

Hi lulupop 

I had no 6 last month thinking my last but got told onco had prescribed 7 not 6 . Will see her in August and will ask but I think it’s a mistake as always said 6. I’m not aware of any changes to the protocol of three to five years of infusions .

I was prescribed Adcal  for vit D at the same time as infusions two per day but my calcium got too high so one per day .

hope you get it sorted 

I've been prescribed it every 6 months for 3 years (though not sure if that means 6 or 7 infusions). Did it used to be 5 years?

Tnak you for your reply, i will try to speak to the secretary about vits. xx

i was told 3 to 5 years but i think its changed to 3 years now. xx

I was told 3 to 5 yrs but most probably 3yr every 6 month I presumed that meant 6 so did chemo unit girls but when they  checked she had prescribed 7  . Checked my record book and first one was in Nov 2019 so  3year would be Nov 2022 so 7 would be correct . Think I’ve decided to ask onco when I see her but will go for it …one more can’t do me any harm 

Hi

How soon after chemotherapy did people start this treatment? I signed the consent form today and emailed over my dentist consent also…the oncologist just said the timing wasn’t that imperative so I’m just curious how long people waited.

thanks 

Hi Hel39
I had my first one whilst stil on chemo then 2&3 when on Herceptin  4,5 & 6 on their own 

Hi I started as soon as my radiotherapy had finished.

I was also told every 6 months for 3 years, I assumed that was 6 infusions, but you're right, it could also be 7.  I take calcium and vit D tablets daily

It's a bit confusing if I had decided to decline the last infusion I would have had 5 !! Do you but the vitamins or are they prescribed for you?
