Hi there. And I beg to offer a different perspective. Unless I'm misreading it, the article stands for the proposition that after the 1 year mark, we may get gradually worse, but most people don't have dramatically negative changes, and may even have partial positive responses to therapies, as I did with Zometa:
. . . the majority demonstrated only moderate increases [in symptoms] with disease duration.
Chin up, please
