Phase II Bisphonates Trial-Should I participate?
I have been asked to participate in the Phase II Trial of Bisposphonates as Adjuvant Therapy for Primary Breast Cancer and am seriously considering doing so.
I am interested in hearing from anyone else who is participating, those who decided not to, and anyone taking Bisphonsphonates (Boniva, Zumata) as part of their treatment.
I would really appreciate any advice from this group. There is such an amazing amount of collective wisdom here.
Thanks!
