Hello. I was just wondering when you all first started your Zoldronic acid? I have finished chemo now and the chemo nurse said I would return in 6 months time for it. I thought it would be as soon as I sent the form we need signing from the dentist and being panicked that I’ve not sorted that yet.
I had my first one a couple of weeks after my chemo finished.
Had you started your hormone blocker already at that point?
I didn't have a hormone blocker.
Hi! I hope you are ok
Ah that’s good yes very similar to what I’ve been told. Thank you xx
Hi, mine was about 6 months after chemo finished. I had chemo, surgery then radiotherapy and the zometa was a few weeks after radiotherapy ended. Best wishes
Hi, I had my first dose of it in with my second dose of EC chemo in July 2023.
Hi, I also finished chemo December 24 and had my first zoledronic acid infusion in April. They gave it at the same time as one of my 3 weekly Herceptin jabs. I didn’t feel any effects from it.
I seem to be odd one out here, starting during chemotherapy…♀️
I am having it next week and I started chemo 4 weeks ago. My DEX Scan was good but guess they are hoping to keep bone density as stable as possible. Seems everyone is on a different schedule. Did everyone find it ok, not too many side effects?
