Has your doctor suggested dosing for Calcium and Vitamin D during ADT?

My doctor has never suggested this and I haven’t really asked. When I went on ADT in early Aug ‘25 I started taking calcium citrate based off of suggestions in this support forum.

This is a problem. Your doctor should not only know that you’re supposed to be on calcium, but they should be directing you to be on calcium.
If they are not then it sounds like they are not a GU Oncologist they’re just a medical oncologist and don’t keep up with what is supposed to be done.
I would completely question my medical team if this was left out of the instructions. It might make sense to go somewhere else, so that you have the proper expertise directing your prostate cancer treatment.
You should ask your doctor why this was not recommended when it is a standard for the industry
