Long time member advice required on recent thyroid blood test after starting HRT.
I’m just after some advice on my recent blood test I had taken myself. I know the drill no levo 24 hours before. NDT gap of 8 hours. Vitamins stoped week before My test was taken at the same time as all other blood test 7.10am. I always stick to this routine to ensure consistency. I decided to take

Happy Thanksgiving Eve
Also Happy Hump Day 😁 https://youtu.be/PBsjggc5jHM?si=JPeepmKsrlzyNL0E Silly Kaiser thinks that Abiraterone is chemo and won't mail it, so gotta go down to Bakersfield monthly to get it, but this time I brought Chocolate covered Macadamia Nuts for the AIS Cancer Center Onco and Radiation staff.

Medichecks hormone test. Any thoughts?
I’ve been on thyroid replacement for about six years now and starting to feel that quite soon I will have improved as much as I’m going to and I’m wondering if HRT could be the last part of what I need to feel more like me. I’ve remained reasonably well all things considered but it’s as though I’m a

Dad with Stage 4 PCa - Need some words of wisdom...again please!
Hi everyone. Just got back from appointment with Dad's oncologist. To keep you up to speed - 3 months ago, his ADT injections stopped working and his PSA started to climb up slowly. Oncologist put Dad on Enzalutamide - been on it for 6 cycles - tolerated well but his PSA has gone from 76 to 87 in one

When To End An ADT Holiday
Just had a lengthy conversation with my MD Anderson MO who agrees with my Houston Methodist MO, i.e., it’s probably better, after an ADT holiday, to allow PSA to reach 0.5 so a PSMA scan can be used to identify any metastices, then zap the met(s), then go back on ADT to put the cancer back into remission

HRT - does it take effect quickly?
Hi For those of you on hrt do you feel the difference quickly or is it slow like levo? I am just about to start a trial of oestrogen patches and progesterone tablets. I still have regular periods but have on going fatigue and muscle aches, palpitations etc. Gp thinks it's because I'm perimenopausal.

Stopped taking NDT thyroid
Hello, could you share your experiences if you tried stopping thyroid hormone replacement? I was on NDT for years, developed hyperthyroid symptoms +very low TSH (normal ft3 and ft4), had heart arrythmia and high blood pressure, lost a lot of hair. Taking NDT didn't help with my weight problems or other

Where to get Orgovyx?
Starting SBRT , likely next week with ADT starting at the time. I got my doc to prescribe Orgovyx rather than Lupron. On Medicare with Part D. Turns out Walgreens and Walmart cannot get Orgovyx. CVS said they could route it through a specialty pharmacy but could take 4 weeks. How have those of you taking

help with Perimenopause anxiety/ depression
Hi has anyone found relief with their anxiety and depression using HRT. I’m feeling so desperate with many symptoms but these two are taking me over and a black cloud is following me everywhere. I’m on sertraline 100mg daily been on it a long time upping and downing the dosage. I was on 200mg last year

1, 3 or 6 month ADT?
Originally, after a prostatectomy and 40 radiation treatments, I had a one month shot of Lupron followed by a six month shot of Lupron. My PSA went to undetectable. Seven years later my PSA crept up to seven and I was put on a monthly shot of Firmagon for life. My PSA is again undetectable and all scans
