    I know a few of you had questions about Bisphosphonates. It looks as though they dont just strengthen the bones, but fight the cancer cells as well.

    The results from the Myeloma IX trial were published in todays Lancet

    Hi Donal thanks for the links . I was recently changed to Zometa because of the added benefits , although it seems less clear in those who have had mm for some time Bridget

    cheers for that Bridget, unfortunately you have to pay to see The Lancet online, and being a Scot youd never catch me doing that (LOL).
