If you took Calcium Supplements during ADT treatments, how long after you
completed the shoots did you continue taking them?

Randy hasn't stopped. Since he's about to have to re-start some type of treatment now, I'm glad he didn't.

I was all set to start taking calcium pills once I started hormonal tharepy but then I read that calcium pills can make prostate cancer more aggressive:

As a result I am not taking calcium (or diary).

I have read articles on both sides about the advantages/dangers of taking vitamin D3.

Do not know what to do.

i took calcium supplements and vitamin d during my IMRT and ADT treatments and I still got a case of osteopenia in my upper femurs. I was advised now to add more calcium to my diet -1200 mg per day and bone density should get back to normal . Also i am taking Vitamin K2.

I've been on calcium, D3, and prolia shots, to stop/ delay bone mets or bone deterioration and will stay on them Until I go on to the next life.
