The side effects of ADT are cumulative and generally get worse with time. The good news is that ADT usually stops the growth and spread of the cancer and will help keep your husband alive.

As of last week’s blood tests my Calcium was 9.3 mg/dL and my Vitamin D was 70 ng/mL. Both are in the upper range of “normal”, so what I am currently doing is working well for me.
