It's amazing the breakthroughs they are comming out with! They have a trial going for a drug that "prevents bone mets" for those likely to get it. So it sounds like there will be a test similar to the HER2 test, if it comes back positive you'll get this drug once it gets FDA approval! What a wonderful thing for all those stage I-III gals who go through treatment only to end up getting bone mets later on! http://wwwext.amgen.com/science/pipe_denosumab.html http://endo.endojournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/142/3/
