Zometa Problems
I,too,have had two infusions of Zometa(Feb. 15,2011 & March 16,2011), but have not had as bad of a reaction as you. My only reaction so far has been a little insomnia. Which my Doctor gave me a sleeping pill for. My Oncologist also switched me from Tamoxifin to Femera. Which is good for me because I don't have as many hot flashes now as I used to have. I have also gained some weight lately(about 10 lbs.), but I don't know yet if it's from the Zometa or not.

I am surprised that not more people have had problems with Zometa or that more people here aren't on Zometa generally. My oncologist told me that anectdotally he has noticed that the bad reactions seem to come from people who were young and not near menopause. That doesn't really make sense, though, in your case Robert as menopause is not an option! I guess he was just referring to women. Thanks for your thoughts. I hope your side effects lessen.
Thanks also to Angie and Denise for your words of encouragement.
