Have never had any side effects. Drug is infused over 30 minutes with a dextrose solution. Hole in spine is closing as a result of drug. Was told it could take up to two years for cancer to be completely erradicated.

Comment:
On my 4th treatment. My first treatment I had MANY side effects, headache,aches and pains etc. I read if Zometa is given over a 30 minute time span instead of 15 side effects are minimal. I don't know if it is coinsidence or my body got used to the drug but I don't have any side effects other than Fatique since changing to the 30 minute dosage.
