Zyflumend may help. It is a herbal blend of curcumin, rosemary and others that have Cox 2 inhibition (all blended in an olive oil gel cap). It was recently touted on ASCO's Reuter site as being beneficial at reducing prostate cancer (cuz of the Cox 2 mechanism - I will find the article and post it under submitted articles).
I am doing the same as Sassy except no Fosamax. Since I am on Herceptin, my onco just gave me a Zometa treatment and will give me another in 6 months. If I am able to stay on Herceptin for the second year, I will get 2 more Zometa. Fosamax can cause joint and muscle pain and you have to take it every week. It can also cause stomach upset. I did get a little nauseous with the Zometa and had leg pains but it passed in a week (and I'm good to go for another 6 months). I had my ovaries removed so no Lupron but take Arimidex (which can also cause joint pain).
I will find the article on the Cox 2 herbal remedy and post it now.
