I'm a 3 year BC survivor. Had Early Stage 1 BC, no lymph node involvement, Estrogen positive. Took Tamoxifen for 2 years, been on Femara for one year. I've been post-menapausal for one year, 51 years old. I've read that Zometa may be helpful for bone density and may reduce risk of recurrence. Should I be considering getting the injection, and if so is it yearly?

The thing to do is to ask your oncologist.....that is who recommended it to me.
You have to do a 25 hour urine test first, this should be done, when the results of this is in, then you can see what he or she recommends. Zometa is not used today as much as Re-clast. This is still the once a year infusion. Hope this was of help.

I had the same question and have not had much success in generating any interest by my doctors. Also, i thought zometa and reclast were the exact same drug--just that one is packaged/marketed for osteoporosis and the other for breast cancer, but not sure which is which? I am a four-year bc survivor--stage 1, no lymph node involvement, hormone positive, tamoxifen for 3 years and now on femara since jan.

Five year survivor. Stage 1., estrogen positive with no nodes involment. I was on tamoxifen for 2 years and was put on Fozamax after 2 years on Femara. I take 1 small pill a week and am doing fine. Are you taking extra vitamin c and d. Very important.
Good luck,,
