Hi Daffydilly. I think we’re all feeling pretty low. Apparently this is normal according to my Oncologist as she discharged me! 🤦 ♀️ . I’m having Zometa and am also overweight. I started Zometa when I was having chemo. My regime was 6 weekly for 3 doses then 6 monthly for 3 years. You can get flu like symptoms but I never noticed cos it was with my chemo. The one I have had since I don’t think I had any problems. They will probably want you to have a check up on your teeth. In rare cases it can cause a problem. My dentist was happy for me to have the infusions as I go to the dentist regularly and look after my teeth. I weighed up the pros and cons, and decided to go for it. I’m on Letrazole which can affected your bones, osteoporosis, so am happy to have some protection for my bones! I also have been told to take Vitamin D everyday for the next 3 years and then October to March every year. It’s a constant reminder and the treatment seems to go on and on but I’m managing with it ...... today! Lol. as for the weight, well I have lost some and have a long way to go. I have read about the overweight stuff and most of the time push it to the back. You have come along way and are doing really well. The physical side of treatment has ended but the mental impact is still there. I find the counselling I’m having helps. Remember you’re not alone you can rant to us. The WhatsApp is good and funny! And also is a great source of support. Can you talk to your breast cancer nurses. I did try someone like you which this charity offers. It was a great help in the beginning. Blimey this was an essay! Sorry. You’re going to be okay. Every week there’s something new about cancer and health! Very confusing. Get through this bit THEN think about weight loss. One step at a time xxxxxx
