I have been on some type of bisphosphonate for almost 20 years. I have extensive bone mets. I'm still on the trial of TDM1. Last summer the fifth metatarsal bone in my foot fx. While just walking. I also had a pathological fx. Of the acetabulum in my hip. I am concerned about the long tErm use of these drugs but my onc. Is concerned about stopping them. Does anyone have any experience with this situation?
