Anestrazol tablets and zometa injections

Hi F1 petrolhead 

I'm on Zometa but mine is given by a cannula rather than an injection. I had my second one on Monday and I have them every 6 months. When I had the first one, last December, I felt a little rough the next day but this time I didn't have any side effects.

Ooh I shall check then if I'm having via cannula. How long did it take?

I was there for about an hour. It took them a couple of attempts to find a vein that liked having a cannula put in and then the Zometa only takes about 20/25 minutes to go in. After that I had a flush for about 5 minutes. I know that doesn't add up to an hour but I've found that there's always a bit of time when the Zometa has finished going in but the nurses are busy attending to other people so I end up sitting there for a while before they realise the Zometa has finished going in. I think if everything happened straight away you could be in and out in about half an hour.

Hi, I’m on Zometa by infusion (takes 15 minutes to go in) every six months for 3 years.  Had my first in February which gave me flu like symptoms for a few days.  My advice is drink plenty of water before and after and take paracetamol regularly for a day or two after.  They after the first one they get easier.

im not on anestrazol, I’m on Letrozol for 10 years.  I’m tolerating that well 

I wish you all the best with your treatment. Xx
