I have been asked to participate in the Phase II Trial of Bisposphonates as Adjuvant Therapy for Primary Breast Cancer and am seriously considering doing so.

I am interested in hearing from anyone else who is participating, those who decided not to, and anyone taking Bisphonsphonates (Boniva, Zumata) as part of their treatment.

I would really appreciate any advice from this group. There is such an amazing amount of collective wisdom here.

Thanks!
