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.

The treatment suppresses testosterone, which is responsible for spurring growth of prostate tumors, but is also responsible for healthy bone mass."
