Should you get a bone test if only on ADT for 6 months
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 5 days ago | Replies (28)Comment receiving replies
Gleason 9 diagnosed in August 2024. I was on Orgovyx for 20 months, ending in April 2026. Twenty-five sessions of IMRT. PSA presently less than 0.04. 74 years old. Presently taking Centrum 50 Plus multivitamins and Omega 3 fish oil daily. I'm debating whether or not to take Calcium Citrate supplements because I had a kidney stone removed four months ago and still have a non-obtrusive small stone in the other kidney.

Since you had kidney stones you should be very careful with Ca supplementation.
If I were you I would ask my doctor about that since Ca and D supplementation actually was never proven to help preventing bone loss.
There were no studies conducted comparing man on ADT who took Ca + D and those that did not and what is even more troubling there are some studies that show that Ca supplementation can increase coronary disease risk, kidney stones and even can have "positive" effect on PC progression.
I found about all that yesterday while doing some reading about recommended daily levels of Ca in diet and was shocked : (.

Hope this was of some help and wishing very fast healing of your kidney. It can be extremely painful condition : ((
