title: On call.  My 64-year-old wife was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis.  Her doctor said medication would help, and he reassured her that having osteoporosis was not all bad since it indicates a reduced risk for breast cancer.  I want to know if osteoporosis in men affects the risk of prostate cancer.
