Hello again Soultime12. Hematology checks my B12 and vitamin D in routine test. I also take them as supplements. I am getting Prolia shots every 6 months and hematology checks my calcium as required by Prolia. I had to stop taking Boniva monthly with Calquence because of a reaction, even though specialty pharmacists said it was okay. Osteopenia which is pre osteoporosis which my mother had. So far everything is fine. Take care.
