Mesotheolioma

Asbestos and the associated disease disease of the lungs. Will be claiming victims for decades to come. Asbestos is still in many products that were installed decades ago. I am looking at an asbestos reinforced siding that is very common in American cities.

Bone Strengthening ctrials

Pca bone fractures are a problem. Here is a cTrial that suggests using zolendronic Acid to strengthen bones in men on ADT. Here is info on Denosumab which is testing better then zolendronic acid. The OSTEONECROSIS OF THE JAW problem is well addressed by the American Dental Association. If you take any of these drugs you will start to suffer irreversible jaw bone loss!
Make sure your dental work is complete before you get any of these bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw (BON) issues. Be sure to notify your Dentist that you are an advanced cancer patient about to use bisphosphate drugs. You will probably be in bone lesion induced pain so knowing this in advance is most helpful.
Bone loss issues are also a serious elderly female problem. Take the WHO's FRAX test to see your possible fatal hip bone fracture risk.
