Relative benefits of Boniva vs Evista for a 15-year breast cancer survivor worried about ostoporosis

I was treated for breast cancer in 1992, took tomoxifen for 5 years, and have been on Evista since that time. Bone density tests are at low normal levels, though I've lost about 12% in bone density over the last five years. I am post-menopausal. Would I do better to switch to another osteoporosis...
