Zometa Infusion? No thanks I prefer PG Tips

Its been a busy week since my appointment at MRI last Friday, hence my delay in posting this blog.

Overall the results remain good, my bloods remain as stable as can be expected which is good. As mentioned in previous blogs I suffer from bone pain in my hips and pelvis. That's why I fidget a lot when I'm sat down - Ive not got ants in my pants - honestly!!!

The specialist has decided that I need to start some treatment which as well as helping with bone regrowth will hopefully help with pain relief. The drug is a zoledronic acid with a trade name of Zometa. You can find out more about Zometa here When the specialist told me they would start this treatment he said "We will start you with some Zometa Infusions" I thought he was offering me a cup of herbal tea which I'm not keen on!!!!

I will have 15 minutes of intravenous infusions once a month at the same time as my monthly check up so that saves a second journey to MRI. First one is 8th March, the date of my next appointment and I'll let you know how I get on.
