Long term ADT bone loss mitigation tips?
My post RP BCR was diagnosed 8 months ago when they said, "you will be on ADT the rest of your life". I am on Lupron and abiraterone 4 months now. I am taking 1000mg of calcium per day and 2000IU of D3 per day. If I am lucky enough to last years, what else can I do to prevent the loss of bone? Thanks

Kaiser Fresno has stopped prescribing Xtandi, even for people midstream with it. they are switching over to xytega and prednisone.
just what it says. I went to renew my monthly , extremely effective , Xtandi a couple of days ago and today I’ve been told that my Xtandi prescription has been canceled, and I see on my prescriptions list, Zytiga and prednisone. Never a single word from anybody about this for anything. Basically I’m

PSMA and bladder Cancer?
I have been having various difficulties with urination and know that my bladder is messed up. I have radiation cystitis and who knows what else. I saw my urologist recently and he had little to offer, sort of said yes you are a mess and pretty much left it at that. I have had PSMA pet scans and SPECT

IMRT WITHOUT THE JELL
I'm scheduled for IMRT Radistion without the jell. Doc says the jell may push cancer microscopic cells away from the prostate. He said the cancer is about to protrude through the capsule and microsopic cancer cells could be out of the capsule and did not want to take a chance of putting the jell in and
