Zometa was given from 2002 through present time. It has been the only maintenance I have had. I have been concerned that I have been on this too long. I recently had a consultation with my former oncologist and he tells me that the practice now is to give Zometa for two years following the last chemo treatment. Oops! That means I should have stoped a long time ago.
