Medical oncologist suggested multivitamin in passing at start of adt. After 23 months adt I have)-1.7 osteopenia. Something not mentioned I also had zero b12. After some time now with supplementation it is normal. I think no b12 was a factor in my fatigue

Your MO should have emphasized that you need to take calcium to keep your bone strength up. Vitamin D is also recommended. My oncologist made sure to tell me to take those.
Another thing a bone doctor said at a recent conference is that everybody on ADT should be on bone strengtheners. I was on Fosamax for six years and then Zometa for the last two years. My bones have stayed strong as a result.
