Had a Zometa infusion yesterday
What is your experience with this? Does it work quickly?
BTW. I called Nashville and made sure this wouldn't disqualify me from the trial.
Hugs to all!

PS I did get in about an hour and a half of bliss. A gorgeous day!!!!!

zometa
Hey Paula, I've had 2 zometa infusions with the last one on weds. Can't say I noticed anything. My calcium is on target at 9.7 but I am getting it due to the bone radiation. I'm thinking of you every day. Can't wait for good news from Nashvile!

I feel all right today. Not sleeping too well due to bad sweats at night...ugh! Finally got out of bed at 6 this morning and went right into the shower. It's not hot sweats; it's more like cold sweats. Lovely.
I was reminded by my son's friend/gastro oncologist that when I checked into Duke my calcium was high also. And I was having bad sweats then too. After surgery, miraculously the sweats stopped altogether. Hoping a few infusions of the latest and greatest will have the same effect.
Still waiting for Nashville to hear from the drug companies on whether or not I am a candidate. You know the drill. You'll be the first to know!

Thanks all.garym said:Stay strong...
Hi Paula,
Ditto on what Alice said, everything that gets you closer to and prepared for the trial is a good thing. Just keep focused on the hour and a half of bliss, it won't be long now.
Hang in there,
Gary
Some aches and pains. A little fever last night, but overall, not too bad. Going for bloodwork on Wednesday to check calcium levels and kidney function. Hoping for a call this week or next from Nashville. Hanging in there! Your support is an amazing boost.
