We agree...

Albeit..."every patient will need some amount of calcium and D3 supplementation to keep their blood calcium level in the normal range..." maybe say patients undergoing systemic ADT therapy should discuss with their medical team how together, they will determine the need, duration, dosage and any adjustments for any supplements" as a result of the treatment...

Same for this..."every ADT patient needs some level of calcium and D3 supplementation specific to them." ADFT patients should consult with their medical team on the need, dosage, duration and monitoring..."

Ditto this..."every patient using ADT beyond six months will benefit with some level of iron supplementation specific to them.

The need for calcium is quite easy to find out you just get a blood test for it. I had a problem getting my calcium up and have to take 500 mg three times a day to be in the normal range. Since calcium has vitamin D may not even need to take more.
