Hi all, I too take the Adcal and Zometta, not sure if my blood is checked though. At my zometta seesion this week I was told my sessions are to be changed to every 3 months instead of every 6 weeks. Usher (nurse) said this is good news, I will ask at my next clinic though.
Regards to all
Karen

I had my sct in January 2013, so if my appetite goes or I am more tired, or pain is worse, I worry that it’s coming…[Read more]

Thanks Tony,
I will say hi if I see her, never seem to get the same consultant twice in a row nowadays. Although I heard from Dr Garg recently, (emails) regarding holidays. She gave thumbs up as I am in remission! ;-).
