Jean,

Can you call your onc and ask what study she is referencing? We can then run it by Lani if it is too complicated for us lay folk. There is an ongoing study that is comparing 2 bisphosphates and Zometa for bone protection from mets. They keep touting the Zometa as such a wonderful preventative. Never heard the pre/post arguement before. Like you I have consdered asking to switch to Zometa.

I am watching the Phillies and the Dodgers, but will try to find something online later. You have raised an interesting question.
