I have breast cancer in my hip after 17 years being cancer free. The first treatment left me unable to function for 4 days. Fever, severe bone pain, lethargy and some jaw pain. Being lethargic was actually a good thing because it was extremely painful to move. I just had the third treatment and haven't had the bad side effects since the first time.

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.

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.

This last one made more tired for some reason. I must say I am very pleased with the ease of use, and very satisfied. As far as working, only time will tell.

First treatment, the next day I was in bed with pain all over. The following ones have been with no side affects at all.. I am now in my 7th monthly infusion. This last one made more tired for some reason. I must say I am very pleased with the ease of use, and very satisfied. As far as working, only time will tell. I did not have pain until I broke a bone in my shoulder. That is how the metasteses was discovered. Now have it also in sternum and in back ribs. None of them ever caused my any pain until the shoulder break occurring from attempting to button my jeans... That was the worst pain aside from giving birth! !... It took about 8 months to heal and very little pain when truing to reach up to high..
