I posted previously on this long and tortuous journey to ( almost) a diagnosis.

Medicare Part D decision
So, I'm going on Medicare in April. I've enrolled in the Blue Cross Plan G Supplement plan and am now trying to decide which Part D plan to get for meds. At the moment my main concern is what it's going to cost for my new Abiraterone prescription. It looks like BCBS is going to be too expensive. Their

Relugolix/Orgovyx or Enzalutamide/Xtandi?
Good morning, all. I have updated my profile with my husband's history. But, long story short, he has been on ADT vacation for 13 months following succesful treatment of metastatic disease with Triplet Therapy (six rounds of Docetaxel, Lupron, and first Abieraterone plus Prednisone and then he switched

Magnesium, zinc and calcium
Nearly a year after ADT and all clear with testosterone recovering well. Been advised by a fellow runner to try a supplement of magnesium, zinc and calcium. The Onco has no objections. Are there reasons no too? Thank you.

Book about red light therapy
Could anyone recommend such a book? I bought a red light lamp some time ago, but haven't really got into using it. Apparently it can be used for mood as well as pain, which is interesting. The light also frightens me a bit, though it is meant not to be harmful to the eyes.

Testosterone volatility
My testosterone was measured @ 490 in 2014 when I was DX with PCa Gleason 6, it was measured again in 2016 at 463. It was not measured again until after I started on ADT and it has been >7 ever since. Is there a way for me to extrapolate what it would have been in 2021 when I was DX with Gleason

Unsure about increasing T3
Hi Everyone, I’ve had my appointment with my thyroid specialist today and she wants me to increase my T3 from 15mcg a day to 25mcg a day and keep levo at 100mcg. However I’m really hesitant to do this as last time I increased my T3 (see my original post below) I got my T4 to 6 and felt awful. Plus I

Low testosterone is associated with extremely poor survival metrics, post-ADT.
These companion plots compare: (A) median survival times, (B) PSA doubling times, and (C) Time to PSA Failure for two different levels of testosterone: Low and Normal. The low testosterone has a median value of 162 ng/dL [120-236] and the average normal T = 680 ng/dL. The cohort is 58 men with unfavorable

Low Testosterone reduces Survival by a huge amount.

The low testosterone has a median value of 162 ng/dL [120-236] and the average normal T = 680 ng/dL. The cohort is 58 men with unfavorable intermediate risk who underwent

My own PSA values over time: 70% drop in just 3 months on Dutasteride and no ADT
Here are my own PSA values versus time plot. You can see there is an exponential rise in PSA starting at around 6/1/23, and doubling from PSA = 5 to 10 in about 8 months. My MRI at PSA = 10 showed a T3a tumor about 1.3 cm long (PIRADS 5). A subsequent targeted biopsy showed Gleason 3+4 in 4 cores,

Doubling Times and PSA acceleration - Part II
This is a more realistic schematic plot of PSA levels increasing over time at an ever faster rate (acceleration). What could cause this? My theory is that as the tumor grows, the number of androgen receptors (ARs) increases proportionally. That makes sense...more PCa cells inside a tumor...more ARs

Non metastasis castrate resistant
When you are on ADT and become Non metastatic Castrate resistant and your testosterone levels are below zero, what is the cancer feeding off to cause the PSA to still rise? Hoping for your replies so as to give me some understanding. Thank you.

post menopause bleeding
Hi all, I’m a 64 year old woman whose periods stopped when I was 50, I chose HRT after a few years of non stop daytime sweats, zero concentration and bursting into tears at the drop of a hat 🙈 I stopped the HRT back in 2020 but had to start it again last year as the sweats returned with a vengeance
