Prostate Cancer Treatment Causes Severe Bone Mass Loss

	Nightmist writes "This frightening article posted on Excite claims that a common treatment for prostate cancer is causing loss of bone mass to accelerate in men. Bone loss which would normally occur within 10 years occurs within one year of starting the treatment. The treatment suppresses testosterone, which is responsible for spurring growth of prostate tumors, but is also responsible for healthy bone mass."
