I am grateful to all who responded to my request for information and found it interesting that no one was responding in the beginning.

I am also surprised that more hasn't been done in this area. It effects most women; it seems like they were being ignored. I don't know why there was a study on men and not on women.

My original question came about because my wife who had breast cancer about 25 years ago was put into early menopause as a result of the treatment. She has had a steady bone loss during that time. She has been taking Fosamax for a few years and stopped taking it in January.
