Husband is currently having chemo plus takes daralutamide tablets twice a day and has decapeptyl hormone injections every 3 months. I note that some of you are taking extra medication for things like bones etc. Sometimes I feel as if our oncologist is abit laid back so just wondering if there is something we should be talking to him about when we see him next. Thank you 

  • Hi Shar

    The one you are thinking about is Calcium and Vitamin D Tablets. I am on those as the HT can weaken your bone structure.

    When I read about it (thanks to a Community Member) on here, I asked my CNS about it and she said "Oh they should have been prescribed ask you GP". The GP just added them to my prescription without any fuss.

    Best wishes - Brian.
