Bone density issues arose in 1976 when I was diagnosed with
ankylosing spondylitis, and 20 years later (1996) when it
was determined that I also had RA and OA.

I have lost track of all the DEXA and CT scans I've had.

Then in 2001 I was dx'd with PCa, and not one of the
damned urologists mentioned bone density when talking
about ADT. In fact, they didn't mention any SE's.

Then I read about the SE's at the FDA's site and
AboutDrugs - bone density loss, ankylosing spondylitis.

Whoa! I already have AS, will ADT make it worse?
