@dk68, I added your question to the Prostate Cancer group as well. You're right that osteoporosis is more commonly associated with men receiving androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer.

What were the results of your DEXA scan? Will you need treatment for osteoporosis?

Thanks Colleen. I had brachytherapy in 2012. Full remision (nearly undetectable PSA). I have -2.7 in my Left Femoral Neck. >2.2 OA in my femurs and right femoral neck. The spine: OP: L1-4 T-4.4. L3-4 = T-4.9 and L4 = T-4.8. No breaks, no pain, just a lot of anxiety. No idea what the other bones were. My GP said they would be about the same. Same as WHICH Score? She prescribed Fosamax. This is not appropriate--I have an endo appt. scheduled for mid-August. I'm anxious and angry.

Whatever the cause turns out to be (it's not drugs or low testosterone), I am sure I will need something restore my vertebrae.
