Aromasin and Zometa

Is any one taking Aromasin or Zometa? I hope the Aromasin will work for me. Three months ago my breast cancer markers were way up. I wasn't on any cancer treatments for about 5 months. I didn't even go to my oncologist and the breast cancer went a little wild. I couldn't take Famera (not sure of spelling) it seemed to bother my heart. I went on a break for 5 months and I wished I hadn't. I was feeling good so I just didn't do anything. In June I had fractures in my ribs (can't even begin to describ the pain) and the bone scan showed new cancer in my skull, shoulder and thoracic spin. If my spelling is off, please forgive. Zometa saved me from constant pain. It took about 3 months for it to work on the bones, but I can now lay on my right side again. Zometa gave me my life back. Please all of you stick with your meds, treatments and your doctors. Don't let even one month go by. The breast cancer metastisized to my bones in 2001. I'm still a strong surviver. jang58
