For Hypercalcemia of Malignancy "It was an easy IV for 15 minutes. Felt wonderful all day long. Hadn't felt that good in a very long time! Next day so sick. Went right back to bed and was completely out all day long. Got up later that afternoon and felt fine from then on. Was given 4 ibuprophens before IV."

For Osteolytic Bone Metastases of Solid Tumors "Been on it for about 4 years. Very little side effects. Maybe some lower back pain but I have terrible mets to bones almost everywhere that I could hardly tell if this med adds to pain. No other problems. I have been getting it for so long that they cut it back to every three months about 2 1/2 years ago. Worried about necrosis to the jaw."

For Hypercalcemia of Malignancy "I had Brest cancer 2017 and chemotherapy and radiotherapy in 2018. I am now on zoledronic acid every 6 months for 3years. I've had 3 now. The thing is the right side of my tummy is swollen from just above my belly button and over to my right side. I've had a CT scan and everything is fine. Bloods are fine. It swelled up after my 2nd one and no one knows why."

For Osteolytic Bone Metastases of Solid Tumors "My husband had his first treatment yesterday. Today he is miserable 102 fever and flu like symptoms. He is getting two other chemo for lung cancer and had no side effects. After reading all the comments I wish he had read these first. We trusted his oncologist and I know everything has side effects but this one has knocked him out. I pray he doesn’t let them continue with this one."

For Osteolytic Bone Lesions of Multiple Myeloma "I was placed on Zometa by my oncologist as a preventative medication to avoid bone lesions and fractures. I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma earlier in the year. I fortunately do not have bone issues at this point, however my doctor thought it might help with prevention. After my first infusion, I developed severe chills, fever and terrible calf pain 24 hours later. The fever, chills and pain fortunately disappeared about a day or two later,...but the fatigue lasted for days. Before my 2nd monthly infusion-I drank more water. This did seem to help with avoiding chills and fever, but 24 hours later I again developed bad calf pain and realized I had edema in my legs. A day later it is better but again, I have horrible fatigue and bloating. The side effects to this medicine are worse than those of my cancer meds. I will have to talk to my doctor as I am not willing to do this every month - unless I really have to."
