Hormone therapy prevents prostate cancer cells from obtaining androgens, either by limiting the production of androgens or making it impossible for androgens to
When that patient was progressing on prednisone and then the prednisone was changed to dexamethasone. conversion to androgens and estrogens.

Bone damage more commonly results from the long-term use of glucocorticoid pills, such as prednisone sex hormone is removed. Androgen deprivation
Antiandrogens: Antiandrogens are the drugs that antagonize the action of androgens by prohibiting the binding of androgen with androgen receptor (AR). From:
Steroids (glucocorticoids such as prednisone and decadron) Antidepressants such as lithium and amoxapine Androgens (testosterone) Iodides
Antiandrogens, also known as androgen antagonists or testosterone blockers, are a class of drugs that prevent androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from mediating their biological effects in the body.
Additional considerations that contribute to bone fragility are the effects of androgen-deprivation The IMAAGEN study: effect of abiraterone acetate and prednisone on prostate specific antigen
Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs, such as enzalutamide, abiraterone acetate, and prednisone, may lessen the amount of androgens

From a med standpoint if davonna had been on hrt more then 6 months.it would be unlikely she would be fertile,especially with androgen blockers..but wth,it is a veautiful story:)
