My father was prescribed with Zometa to treat multiple myeloma. And I think the medication is the reason why the last years of his life were comparatively enjoyable and happy. The thing is that he was diagnosed with lung cancer about ten years ago. All this time he was struggling hard for his life and health. But the disease turned out to be stronger than he was. Actually lung cancer diagnosis was a shock for him as he was not a heavy smoker, he smoked when he was younger but that was a short period of time. And his work was not connected with any chemicals or other harmful substances to breathe in. sad but true, he developed lung cancer. During long years of treatment he has changed many medications, some of them were more effective, others less. But in general we were sure the treatment was bringing positive results. There were periods of time when my father was active as before he was diagnosed with cancer, and he felt himself healthy, but then the disease would come back and we had to look for another treatment option. After one of such remission periods my father's doctor told us that unfortunately in spite of all the efforts the cancer spread to bones. That was a tough blow, we all were destroyed. My father was put on Zometa to slow down disease spreading in the bones. It was very painful at times, but Zometa helped a lot. My father lived 3 more years and due to this medication he was able to enjoy the rest of his life and spend many happy hours with his family. He's no longer with us, but we are grateful to Zometa for helping him forget about pain and sufferings at least for some time.  

I have been on Zometa to reduce my blood calcium levels for about three months now. The calcium levels increased dramatically in latest 5-6 months, therefore my doctor and I decided to add a medication to reduce calcium. After an investigation we came to the conclusion that Zometa would be the most appropriate solution. It was said to be effective and safe, causing no side effects. And indeed this drug does its job perfectly well. I am really happy that it helps me avoid additional problems. Being a cancer patient I already have a lot of issues to worry about and a lot of aspects that make my life difficult and unbearable at times. So Zometa is a breath of fresh air. I wish my other cancer meds were just as effective as this one.  

My best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer 6 years ago. Since that time her life has changed greatly, and she herself changed as well. It sounds ridiculous, but she became happier. I mean that she started cherishing every moment; she learnt how to value life and dear people. She is struggling with the disease but at the same time she lives every day as if it was the last day in her life. I think she's a very strong person and I hope she'll conquer the disease, she deserves it. Last year she was told her cancer spread to bones and this piece of news made her even stronger. Her doctor out her on Zometa and it brings vivid results: lowered pain, better blood tests. She is very satisfied with the way Zometa works for her bones. And according to her doctor the medication will help her better go through chemotherapy and achieve higher results. I pray for my friend every day and I recommend Zomets to other people for whom it might be useful.
