I had almost 1 & 1/2 years of Zometa treatments. This past year I experienced almost unbearable tightness & pain in my chest, which was mis-diagnosed as "costochondritis". Then the lower part of my chin & lip went numb-I began breaking out in boils, plus severe muscle cramping, not to mention several bouts with the flu-like symtoms. Late last summer I started coughing a lot & having breathing problems. I was diagnosed with "dypsnea". I
have a blocked airway and am on a nebulizer 2-3 times a day. My
oncologist took me off Zometa & I haven't had a treatment since October but my life is still hell.
