Hello, I have been prescribed bisphosphonates both to strengthen my bones (because Letrozole will weaken them) and to help prevent the cancer (primary breast cancer) from spreading to my bones as I am post-menopausal. Despite a lot of research I cannot find any statistics regarding this. The treatment has some pretty horrible side effects but without knowing the benefits I can't weigh up whether or not to go ahead with the treatment. Lots of articles say it 'may' prevent spread to bones. I really want to know the chances of it spreading to my bones with or without the Zoledronic acid and also the chances of getting osteoporosis without this drug. Can anyone help by sharing any knowledge on this?
Thanks, Pumps
