Hi Sarah and Henry

Its always strange when Meds change with no discussion :-S and am sure you do always ask?.
But I was on Zometa and had that for two years post SCT, just had flu like symptoms for a few of the treatments.

Sarah, Frank keep eye out for Jaw problems as it can have problems on the Jaw bone.:-/

Keep well.

Love Tom…[Read more]
