Re: Osteoporosis
Both drugs - Zometa and Denosumab have shown anti cancer properties (as well as bone strengthening properties). More recent studies confirm this in Denosumab so... thinking about that, perhaps adding Denosumab to your cocktail (I do think this in an infusion and you aren't on any infusions now but what the hey), you should add it in. It might be synergistic with the Tykerb/Xeloda and give added benefit on those pesky lung mets too (while hardening the bones). Just a thought.
