You should contact the doctor that put you on ADT.

You should get a Dexa scan immediately So you have a picture of what your bone health is prior to taking much ADT.

A bone doctor that specializes in prostate cancer said that everybody should be on a bone strengthener if they are on ADT. I took Fosamax for six years, A pill you take Once A week. I am now on Zometa infusion every three months. You can also take Xgeva infusion as well.. It’s important you get this started soon.

You should also be on calcium, preferably calcium citrate, which is easier on the body. 500 mg twice a day is the recommended dose by oncologist that know what they are doing. Another thing you need is vitamin D. All of these should’ve been recommended by your doctor.

Considering all the doctors you have, you should really have a Genito Urinary Oncologist, overseeing all the other doctors and treatments. Those oncologist specialize in prostate cancer, unlike medical oncologist, who work with all different kinds of cancer and can’t specialize in prostate cancer.

Thanks, Jeff. See post above yours. Urinary Oncology is the dude that ordered the scan. Sorry, I was too slow editing my post.
