Treatment to strengthen bones

Hello Amanda (AFLMF) 

That's an interesting question and one I think for the Oncologist and their team on 2 August - I think i would give the GP a miss!!.

As for me i have been prescribed Calcium and Vitamin D tablets to prevent bone thinning.

Best wishes - Brian.

Thanks Brian. That's what I feel is best as you never know whether an alternative would be contraindicative to the HT.

Hello Amanda I am on calci-d 1000mg and alendronic acid 70mg with no problems both are taken for osteoporosis which is what everyone i know who takes it, takes it for, something you should ask your ONCOLOGIST, take care.

Hope you are well?

Hi AFLMF

Good evening it's great to meet you here today.

Yes I have recently been put on to these tablets recently by my consultant for osteoporosis.

These were given to help with my bones due to having the HT and also as the cancer has unfortunately escaped from my prostate and entered my bones.

I haven't experienced any problems to date with these tablets so far fingers crossed.

Please please come back to me if there's anything else that I can help you with???

Prostate Worrier.

Thank you

Hi AFLMF.

No probs my friend.

Prostate Worrier.

Hi, my OH was started on the same a couple of months ago, he takes medication for ongoing gastro reflux and also ulcers and like you wondered if it would cause further problems, so far it hasn’t

That's very interesting and good to know, thank you so much!
