Clodronate (and statins)

Hi all,

I'm considering taking clodronate off-label, as suggested by a second-opinion Onc that I see. This is regularly prescribed in Canada and Europe as an adjuvent treatment. The Onc reminded me that I'm still considered 'hi-risk' and I'm taking his recommendations seriously. He also suggested statins as a way of managing bc risk.

Anyone else pursue similar off-label strategies?

Many thanks,
Jen
