PSA rate of decline in ADT with ductal type cancer?
From my point of view, I had cancer that spread extensively throughout the prostate area and went metastatic hiding behind low PSAs under 1.2 for a long time and it’s probably continuing to spread despite the
ADT
. (I think the 9.7 PSA is a fluke.

never loose hope upping NDT!!
bit of back story, I have been on 1 grain of NDT for 3.5 years (with added t4). Every time I upped 1/4 grain I would get hyper symptoms and it would push my t3 over range. So I had no choice but to add levo in (tirosint). T4 seems to make me feel worse and worse the higher I go in doses with extreme

Constipation
Hi helpful community. I am on 40 mg or prednisone for CGA, tapering down to 35 in 2 days for 2 weeks. I am suffering from constipation. Is it due to the prednisone or the Calcium supplements (600 mg x 2 per day)? I take Miralax (Restorolax) every couple of days. then I take mineral oil for couple

Ruminating on Extending ADT&Zytiga beyond 18 months
MO said we can consider stopping
ADT
at 18 months. My concern is there no good trials looking at High/ Very high risk locally advanced PCA and length of time of
ADT
. Only guidance 18 months to 36 months.

If Pluvicto fails…what next?
Dxed March ‘18, and has gone through the gamut of standard of care (Docetaxal, Jevtana, Ra223, Lynparza,
ADT
) and now Pluvicto. He had one round about 4 weeks ago. Bloodwork a few days after round 1 showed an increase in PSA, but significant decrease in Alk Phos.

Using transdermal E2
Ronron's posts about using E2 instead of
ADT
have been interesting. Who else has used? If so: 1. Has anyone switched from using Lupron (or any 1st or 2nd level
ADT
, such as Firmagon, abiraterone, etc.) directly to transdermal E2? 2.

side effects of Tamoxifen
I joined Health Unlocked in 2016 when my daughter was diagnosed with both breast cancer and diabetes. She was 36 at the time so it was the full works in terms of treatment. She underwent a lumpectomy in her left breast, chemo, radiation and has been on hormone therapy - 1 tab of Tamoxifen a day since

Antidepressants and ED
I've been on
ADT
for 4.5 years. Lupron and Zytiga. We all know the sexual health problems with that. I was getting depressed quite badly at times so I started Citalopram a few days ago. It's already helping but I have noticed a bit more ED. Maybe I have to give it some time to see.

Current PCa treatment options in the UK do NOT include Triplet Therapy!
Apparently, the UK "gold standard" of treatment is to give a de novo APC patient either
ADT
+ AR or
ADT
+ chemo but not all three at the same time. They strongly recommend that I start with Prostap + Enzalutamide.

bed wetting has stopped but now child is highly emotional?
hi, just wondering if anyone here that’s had a child that wets the bed had any emotional problems when they stopped? I certainly didn’t expect that stopping bed wetting would cause us any problems 🤦🏼♀️. So this last wee my 9 year old girl has been dry at night. Great news… but now she’s so emotional

Localized High Risk Pca (G9 4+5) questions
Questions I have: With a PSMA pet scan as being clear, do I need
ADT
therapy? I believe the standard of care is 2 years with radiation with high risk PCa. PSMA Pet scans are new, and not sure if there is clinical evidence, but with a clear scan, perhaps
ADT
therapy should be reviewed.

T3 monotherapy people
Just a quick question for those on T3 only out of curiosity - what is your overall dose, your split dose (if any) and how long did it take you to get there? I know it’s different for everyone but would be interesting to see how others work their dosing ☺️ So far gradually up to 65mcg, definitely

Is it the NDT (Thailand)
Have taken 2.5 grains NDT for many years. Recently started suffering from burning feet pads and tongue swelling late evening. Have noticed that the batch number for the NDT I currently take was hi-lighted for some reason on a facebook page but cannot find the page and reason why. The GP has referred

iron test results help please
I must admit that even after a few years, while I mostly understand my thyroid test results, my iron tests continue to confuse me - I just can’t seem to get my head around the significance of the different parts. So I wondered if someone who actually understands could please explain in really simple

NDT Named Patient basis
Hello everyone. I'm just seeking an update: Is NDT still only prescribed on NHS on a named patient basis? I was listening to the interview of Lynn last year and there was talk this may no longer be required. Am thinking of moving GP surgeries as its barely functioning but don't want to jinx my NHS NDT
