Dear User, Looks like you are having localised disease. If at all zometa is to be taken it is to be every 6 monthly.

As per the history disease seems to be either localized to the prostate or the reference is involvement of nodes if not spread to the bones and if on leuprolide then might consider zometa 6 monthly if there is a concern for osteoporosis.

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.
