I think that most people will already know this news, but I am sad to tell everyone that Pamela Buchanan passed away just over two weeks ago. She was known as 'Tinkerbell' on here.
She gave me a reason for living when I was first diagnosed and was inspirational to the core. I know she hadn't been on for a while but she helped so many people on…[Read more]

Hi Rob
And a warm Welcome to you and well done to you.
After my SCT in 2009 (Dec) I went onto Zometa for 2 years am now in remission and drug free 😀
The Zometa might give you symptoms of Flu but that will soon wear off.
Good Luck and well done so far 😀

Its always strange when Meds change with no discussion :-S and am sure you do always ask?.
