What are some alternatives to bisphosphonates for someone with breast cancer which has metastisized to the bones?

Do you know any drugs (or alternative therapies) that might help strengthen bones in someone who can no longer take bisphosphonates? My sister has breast cancer that has metastisized to her bones. She was getting bisphosphonates (injected) but now has necrosis of the jaw.
