My husband should have started Zometa with his first Immunotherapy in April, but had to have dental work done. There was no mention of low calcium levels 2.07 & his latest bloods have come back showing 2.02 even with calcium medication being taken & the correct diet.
So he still cant take Zometa.
The one thing bothering him is lower back pain & left leg pain & after being told Zometa will help this & twice being told he still cant start treatment, he's absolutely fed up.
Due to having a stroke he's reliant upon his left leg, due to right leg weakness.
Has anybody else had this calcium problem & if so what other treatments can be offered? I've asked for doctor to call as we're both in limbo yet again. He's supposed to be starting physio next week, though Christ knows how that will work with this back/leg pain.
