Zometa

Interesting title . . . I went to my oncologist yesterday for my 3 month blood work and checkup. Everything’s fine. So why am I anxious now? Zometa. A new infusion drug I need, to prevent reoccurrence and help with bone loss. It is given as an infusion every 6 months for 2 years. So it’s only 4 times and it’s a 15 minute infusuon. Doesn’t sound too bad, right? But after years of cancer treatment and surgeries, it sounds bad to me. It comes with side effects, most people get flu like symptoms for 2 days after. I can deal with it, I just really don’t want to!
