Is there any advice as to means of combatting loss of bone density during chemo? Husband is on darolutimide and docertaxel with three monthly prostap injections. We'tre on a balanced vegetarian diet and have been for years. He's taking the calcium tablets that have been prescribed and vitamin D but is due a bone scan in a few weeks and there's a whole section relating to the amount of milk he drinks, which must presumably be relevant to something. Any advice?
