Got my 3rd Zometa infusion today.
Number 1 was at Burzynski Clinic. It hit me hard…
Number 2 was at North Cypress Ambulatory Infusion Clinic. Thank goodness the 2nd infusion was not that bad…
Number 3 – today – was also at North Cypress Ambulatory Infusion Clinic. Hoping that it is also, not bad.
I need Zometa, need to be able to tolerate it.
To overview:
ZOMETA is (also) used to treat patients with other cancers—including breast‚ lung and prostate cancer—that have spread to the bones‚ a process called bone metastasis. When cancer has spread to the bone‚ treatment with ZOMETA helps to protect bones and may reduce or delay such complications as:
* Bone fracture
* Need for radiation and/or surgery to bone
* Spinal cord compression
I also had some blood drawn for my monthly lab work, my tumor markers…
Again, the TOTAL of my charges – receiving the Zometa, compounding the Zometa for infusion, infusion procedure utilizing my port AND the necessary bloodwork to access my levels and tumor markers was $315.00. Plus $15 for each of the 7 blood tests (the extra tests done every 3rd month) – at a Huge savings for me!!
Awesome…
And Again, they provided a nice lunch!!
Again – Thanks to North Cypress Medical Center Ambulatory Infusion Therapy Center!
