Actually, they talk about how the shots affect bone health pretty much every time they have a big conference..

In one recent conference, a bone doctor spent quite a while discussing bone health after taking ADT. His recommendation was that every person on ADT take a bone strengthener.

I’ve been on ADT for eight years and I’ve been on bone strengtheners for about the same time.

I took Fosamax for six years and I’m now on my second year of Zometa. I also take 500 mg of calcium three times a day, Had to do that to get my calcium levels up just a little.

I was told to start taking calcium and vitamin D immediately when I started ADT.

If your doctor didn’t inform you of these bits of information, you need to find yourself a better doctor. You want a Genito urinary oncologist, They specialize in prostate cancer, unlike medical oncologist, which work with all kinds of cancers.
