A friend and I have the same gynecologic oncologist for different types of ovarian cancer. We were both put on Evista after our surgeries, by him. I know that Evista is a fairly new drug. This is the first I've seen that it could possibly cause cancer.
By the way, we both took ourselves off of Evista. She, because she thought it was too expensive. I, after 3 1/2 years started having problems swallowing. I know some osteoporosis meds can cause that, so I went off of it to see. My problem did get better. I hate taking meds anyway.
