Sure. Your testosterone won’t come back for a while after you stop Lupron so it can’t hurt.
If you get a DEXA scan and find out what your bone density is like you can figure out whether or not you need Fosamax.
I was on Fosamax while I had SBRT to my spine to get rid of a metastasis.

@jeffmarc Did you have any side effects from the Fosamax? How long did you take it?

Jeff- do they make Xray of your bone and determine if you need Fosomax or they prescribe it automatically no matter how your bones look like if you need an ADT ?
