Does anyone here have side effects? 
I’m on infusions 4 of 6. 
every six months for 3 years.

Would love to hear your experiences 

  • Hi, I had flu symptoms for about 12 hours the day after my first one. Second one is on Friday and I am not looking forward to it

  • I had my first last week alongside EC. I wouldn’t have been able to pick out anything as being specifically Zometa related. 

  • I had zero side effects after my first one. I had a low mood for about a week after my 2nd one but no aches or pains. I have my 3rd next month so will be interesting to see how I react!.

    My oncologist said you tend to get more bone pain if it is fixing something in your bones but I've no idea whether that's true.

    I'm on it as a preventative against bone issues and cancer coming back in bones - think it is fairly standard now if you are put into an early menopause like me.

    How do you get on with it?

  • My first and second were flu like, after my 3rd about 3wks in I had real bad hip pain that lasted for about 6 wks and today after my fourth I’m exhausted. 
    I’m also on it for preventative reasons. 

  • Hi 
    I am due my sixth and final infusion in June . No major side effects ..a bit achy and fluey for a few days and tired . I do get more bone pain in legs on and off and have a tender area of bone near ankle.

    one thing I have had but no way of knowing if connected is a recurring UTI. Around the time of infusion never had one before this .

    I am post Menopausal and Her positive so on this as preventative 

    hope all well with you 

    One step at a time and ...Breathe !
