I had a Bone Scan before any treatment for my prostate cancer . It showed
osteopenia. I am 75. Subsequent treatment over the next 8 mos included Radiation, Lupron, Zytiga. I assume the osteopenia is close to osteoporosis. No broken bones yet. Carpe Diem.

I'm 83 and have had osteoporosis and osteopenia for 8 years. I started external radiation, Lupron, Zytiga this past summer for prostate cancer. One doctor started me on Fosamax because of the cancer treatment plus existing osteoporosis, but the Fosamax is giving me acid reflux problems so another doctor said to switch to a daily Vitamin D plus K pill. How do I decide which doctor's advice to follow?
