Prostrate Cancer treatment ADT

HiI am being treated for PC. After diagnose I was put on ADT treatment. This stops testosterone production.

Had a bone scan and found I have osteopenia.

I am taking a calcium citrate with vitamin D. Also once per week Alendronate 70mg.

Has anyone else been in the same boat?

Thanks

How long have you been on this?Have you had a second bone scan to see how treatment is going? My Oncologist says second scan won't be until 2 years which will be January 2025
