Dear Mr. lybrate-user,
from the details provided, it appears you have prostate cancer for which you are on hormonal (leuprolide) therapy. Regarding zometa, I need to know the extent of cancer spread initially, usually if bones are involved it is advisable. Secondly zometa strengthens your bones. However to give an advise with confidence, I would like to know the details.
