With all the incidences of breast cancer attributed to HRTs, I would be very reluctant to take them even without having had oral cancer. Is her osteoperosis so severe that exercise, calcium and vitamin D will not keep her from deteriorating further? Can she take Boniva? I can no longer take Fosamax because of stomach upset. I use Miacalcin which is a nasal spray, no where near as effective, but better than nothing. How old is Mom?
Take crae,
Eileen
