Is it useful to get a PSMA-PET scan with low volume cancer, newly castration resistant and PSA below 1?
I was not taking
ADT
at the time of those two scans. I was castration sensitive at the time of all those scans. I am now castration resistant and psa six weeks ago was .33 (up from .14&.20 in August). I don't mind doing the PSMA-PET scan again if it is of value.

ADT and radiation
The doctor has recommended me for
ADT
and radiation, probably a 6 month course. The reading I've done has shown that men who have a test level of less than 400 going into
ADT
have a tougher time recovering their natural testosterone production post

A whole bunch of crap happening and does it add up?
That and the
ADT
SEs seem to mask each other. Think that at times our medical specialization prevents looking at the big picture. Or maybe it needs to start earlier. Make sure you tell your doctors every thing you can think. Make a list of questions or symptoms.

Diverticulitis, hemerrhoids (?), fissure (?), bleeding
Hello. After a pretty unusual bout of diverticulitis diagnosed by a CT scan, I saw my GI doc and he wants to do another colonoscopy. This is my 4th bout in 6 years - not very bothered by it - but the last one, well, I could not get the stool out, and then started pooping orangy slime. After that I went

Hashimoto’s help
Hi, I’ve been taking two grains of Armour Thyroid for a while now and had been feeling well. When I had blood tests in February my T3 was optimal for the first time. However, over the past month I’ve been feeling really awful again - at first I had symptoms of Hyperthyroidism and then within a week

Induced coma
Hello, I was an induced coma for 6 weeks from early may, I'm out of hospital and home now. I'm finding my memory is terrible. I have no memory from about a month before my admission and now I keep forgetting little things and lots of them, like remembering to look at my diary where I have written appointments

Zytiga Failed Me Bigtime
First went on
ADT
in Sept 2020 when my PSA hit 165, 14 weeks after surgery. After going on Lupron and Erleada my PSA dropped to .20 in 6 months. After that it did nothing but rise back up to 120 about 4 weeks ago.

Wheelchair user and ADT
Has anyone had radiotherapy but then also managed
ADT
but as a disabled person and wheelchair user with a lifetime of low muscle strength from polio or similar?The recurring theme is that without
ADT
the risk of recurrence is very high if not certain.
