Hi. I take Fosamax and just learned that there is a two-year old class action lawsuit against the makers of bisphosphonates like Fosamax, especially for people who have cancer. The drug is causing osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ)- jaw decay. Fosamax is supposed to allevaite osteoporosis, but oral surgeons and dentists noticed a link between jaw decay and bisphosphonates 5 years ago. You're not supposed to take Fosamax if you're having dental surgery or extractions. Check it out on the Internet. Saundra
