Thanks so much Tom and good to hear that the symptoms are short lived. All the best for tomorrow. Are you on the same trial as mum? If so how are you finding it? Best wishes Helen

Hi there everyone.
My mum (64) was diagnosed with Myeloma 3 weeks ago and has just started on the myeloma XI trial. She has been picked for the RCD trial.
She had her first lot of Zometa yesterday and unfortunately, today she is experiencing aches on her joints all over her body. Is this normal and how long will it last?

Thanks in advance

Helen
