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

Thanks Jeff, I have an appointment on Monday and will definitely bring this up. My MO specializes in GU and she keeps up with all the latest info, and she is the Dr that prescribed my ADT. So yeah, kinda strange. I’ll let you know what she says.
