moderate hypofraction RT
The other concomitant and question is
ADT
and if that also is being seen to be less of a BCRS and OS for shorter than 24 or 18 and some cases even 6 months. Is it all still controversial given research data is only 5 years so far ?

Steroids, statins, strange query
I was put on 80mg Atvostatin mid Aug following a TIA/Afib episode and diagnosis. From mid September I started to suffer an intermittent throbbing, burning pain on the ball of my foot and last three toes. It comes on suddenly such as during the short 1 mile walk I’ve just completed. Bloods in Sept showed

A Little Christmas Wish
I’ve posted many times in the last ten years since our 29 year old son sustained a severe brain injury in a car crash. At this time in 2013 he was still in intensive care and, although out of his induced coma, he was showing very few signs of movement. For months we had no idea what kind of future he

Is ADT beneficial after castration resistance sets in?
If PSA is rising at the same doubling time (3 weeks) as it was without
ADT
(when I was Castration sensitive and did intermittent
ADT
breaks), then is it useful to keep taking
ADT
? If so, why?

Endocronologist experience
Hi there, I recently had a top end and very experienced endocrinologist tell me that the 1.6mcg of levo per KG in weight was an old fashioned and outdated theory. Is this the case? I have just upped to 100mcg and was just wondering if I’m on the right dose. He seems to think that’s ok for me.

Zytiga failure after 4 years what now
Back on
Adt
and Zytiga . PSA went down, but now has risen from .36 to .56 to 1.15 . Zytiga has failed . Doc says no chemo for now . Just not enough cancer and I’m doing way too well for it . . I know SOC is Xtandi but she says it’s short lived if works at all . Looking for a clinical trial .

PSA and CT Questions -- 15 Months Following Diagnosis
He is one year into

. Also, a CT abdomen/pelvis scan conducted yesterday revealed "sclerotic bony lesions". There was no mention of sclerotic bony lesions in his 12/2021 CT. The bone scan and CT abdomen/pelvis summaries seem contradictory to me. See below for exact wording from report.

Stability of NDT at 5C - stored in the fridge
Hello lovely people I am an idiot! It’s official. I’ve been storing my NDT in the fridge instead of at room temperature. Efra (the manufacturer) have said they have no data to confirm if it’s still effective, so said I should stop taking it. That’s £300 worth of NDT, which I just cannot afford to throw

intro / husband in critical care
Hi My husband has a road accident on 24/11 suffered an tbi and is currently in critical care. He has been off sedation since about the 27/11 but is still unconcious. He is responding to pain and has started to lift both arms when nurses fiddle with his tubes. He was off the ventilator all day yesterday

? Cover required for endometrial biopsy
I have been on prednisolone for over 2 years now and still on 10mg. I have a hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy planned tomorrow and although this is only a minor procedure with no general anaesthetic or sedation, I’m just wondering whether I will need any extra steroid cover? Does anyone have any knowledge

Hello everyone...
It was in August 2022 that my primary care became alarmed after my PSA returned, and it was 77 plus, that I likewise became alarmed by the fact that I must deal with prostate cancer. As a result, I tried hormone therapy for six months and thought about killing myself if I did not die first from the
