vitamins

Good morning golfboy 

My OH is on vitamins , alendronic acid & Advil d3 but they are prescribed by the GP . the oncologist asked for it to be given . So it might be worth asking as it’s a way of them checking your taking the right amount .

Liz & OH xx

thanks I'll make enquiries with my GP. 

Hello Dale (golfboy) 

Calcium and Vitamin D is an essential for anyone on Hormone Therapy as you rightly say to help your bone structure.

I am on Turmeric (for my joints) and Sage (for my hot sweats).

As with ANY vitamins and supplements check with your GP to ensure there is no medication clash.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Dale, can I suggest you ask your doctors for a full blood test to see what vitamin deficiencies you may have, as the supplements they can prescribe will be more effective than over the counter alternatives, and won't have any negative impact on the treatments you are on, it would also help if you could have a bone density scan to be certain your getting the best treatment.
