Welcome to the forum John,

I'm sorry to read that your wife's femur suddenly broke three months ago and it's been suggested that the long-term use of the bisphosphonate may be the cause. We have some general information about this drug on our website just here but do feel free to give our cancer nurses a call if you'd like to chat with them about this. Their office hours are Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and are available on 0808 800 4040 (freephone).

Hopefully other members that have been in a similar predicament will be along soon to share their experiences with you but do feel free to look for other discussions to join in on using the 'search forum' option above.

Best wishes to you and your wife, 

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

Thanks Steph.   Not had any other responses so I'll use the link you included in your post and explore thngs for myself.

Appreciate your help.

John
