Question for our BAT BROTHERS
When you made the decision to take your
ADT
vacation how did you go about stopping your drug intake? My MO isn’t a fan of this option as he’s a don’t fix it if it ain’t broken kinda guy so his advice regarding this path is not offered.

Any ideas on blood labs to monitor for earlier detection than PSA for becoming Castrate Resistant?
I am trying to get an idea of better test labs markers besides just the usual PSA for becoming castrat resistant, because if my SOC of
ADT
(Orgovyx, and Nubeqa) is starting to fail I would want to immediately jump on BAT. My doc always adds LDH.

Awful night sweats: hyper, hypo, other - update
Hi. 13 days ago I posted about horrid night sweats https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/149807088/awful-night-sweats-hyper-hypo-other The correct name is generalised hyperhidrosis as the sweats are all over, not just palms, armpits, etc. Back particularly sweaty. This has continued and is affecting

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.

Time course of radiation effects
I remain off Lupron or other
ADT
. My hope is that this is the last spot of cancer. I know that's not the most likely situation but a guy can hope! The plan at this time is repeat PSA and scan in mid January.

NDT on NHS
Hi everyone 😊 I just wanted to ask if there was anyone out there who gets their NDT prescribed by the NHS? I am having the argument with my GP at the moment, as I don’t convert, but just wanted to know if anyone out there had managed to get it from their NHS doctor. Thanks

Very low TSH
Hi folks,I was on NDT and my Tsh went down to less than 0.005 from 3.59 Is this normal? Worrying? My GP told me to come off meds immediately.

First injection of Lu177-PNT2002 as part of SPLASH trial
The fatigue is probably worse than what comes with
ADT
, but still very tolerable. There have luckily been no issues with nausea or diarrhea . Some of the areas with bone Mets are also hurting. Not sure if that might be from the drug attacking the cancer ?

ALP back within range
However, after just 3 months on
ADT
alone (Prostap), my ALP has dropped to well within range (113). Is this normal/expected or is it wishful thinking that I've done better than average?

How long does it take for NDT Thyroid-S to leave your system?
I've got to book in for my annual blood test with my GP. I had my thyroid fully removed in 2008 & I'm on T3 only 20mcg 3 X day.A few months ago I swapped to NDT Thyroid-S & I've stopped taking my T3. I feel better than I've felt in years. My question is how long does it take for NDT Thyroid-S to leave

Gleason Score 5+5
My gleason score is 5+5 =10. I watched Dr.Scholtz's talk who mentioned 5+5 case is rare and I happened to be one of them. My problems are like a full truck and wonder if that is the reason why my PSA remains above 7 after RP. Cancerous cell seems have spread to lymphnodes as i heard it prodcues PSA
