biophosphates to prevent bone mets

After reading the article on this subject, i went and had a bone density test. This test can be done at the same time a mammogram in our hospital. it's a special xray of the leg and pelvis. After chemo and after menapause we can lose bone density fasting the normal. I went to have the test and i was in need of a biophosphate. My lower back and left pelvis was bad. I'm going to start Boniva the once a month pill for bone strength. And maybe the added bonus of preventing bone mets someday. There are alot of oral pills out on the market right now for this. Actonel Fosamax weekly. Something to think of asking for from your dr.s
