PSA still low but cancer progressing
I've been on ADT plus Xtandi for about a year (see my profile) and my PSA has steadily reduced and stayed low. However, my latest CT scan shows that the tumours on my bones and lymph nodes are increasing in size and there are now a few small lesions appearing in my liver for the first time. Not the news

3rd time hair loss in 2 years
Hi all, I'm coming up on my 2 year anniversary of BC diagnosis. Just over 1 years since I was diagnosed stage 4. This last week I started a new chemo for targeted therapy. This is my 3rd med switch in a year due to progression. I knew it was possible that I could lose my hair again. (1st time with

Does anyone know of a connection between undermedication and histamine intolerance, or if there are histamines in Armour thyroid?
My histamine intolerance symptoms have gone crazy of late, to the extent I've had to significantly change my diet. Histamine intolerance is something I have suffered with on and off for years, but nothing like it is now. I have 2 theories, namely one I am undermedicated or two Armour may be behind

"Your thyroid's fine"...what do you think?
Hi. I've been told by a GP that my thyroid is fine. I don't think it is. I'd be grateful for your opinions. Like many others here, I'm fed up with Dr.s saying it's my age, the menopause, or there's nothing wrong. Medichecks results: May 23 Thyroglobulin Antibodies: 423.000 kIU/L (Range: <115

ADT how long
I just started hormone therapy about a month ago on orgovyx pills. They're telling me today I need to stay on this for 2 years. Why so long?

Advice on halting bone loss following Dexa and hrt or other supplements.
Thyroid cancer at 23, high dose T4 requiring propranolol for 17 years, then battles over dosage post menopause as rules changed. T3, when measured, always seemed to be at a good level. I didn't take HRT as it was at the height of the cancer scare. I regret it now. Sjogrens and very low vitamin D diagnosed

Need some guidance
2 years ago my daughter who is 6 now was diagnosed of ADHD and started with 10 mg of vyvanse but rapidly pass to 20 mg and ended up taking 40mg, one pill in the morning and at noon. And also take 1 mg of guanfacine Er to help her sleep at night which some time works or we need to give her melatonin.
