Hi Becky,
Big huge hug right back at ya....

So what do you think? Should I switch over?
Dr. W. is telling me I would not get the benefit (according to study- don't know if you had read that)
of heading off cancer to bone or recurrance.

Somehow in my thinking I think if the Zometa has shown
such great results in the premenopausal area there has to be some benefit to the other group? What are your thoughts. At the very least it will add strength to the bones..but I am getting that with the Actonel.

Not sure what to do.
Thanks,
Jean
