Treatment: Unfavorable Intermediate Risk PCA
I could wait a month for the results of a Decipher test to determine whether
ADT
is needed but the Doctor is 80% confident it will indicate higher risk disease and the need for
ADT
. Therefore, I am leaning toward starting the
ADT
soon rather than waiting for the Decipher report to begin.

My story of my 23 year battle with Pca.
The first is diet, I would have eaten less red meat and processed foods. 2nd, I would have started
ADT
summer of 21 and possibly spared myself those months on crutches and 3rd I would have started supplementing with curcumin and magnesium many years ago.

Heart-healthy foods.
Even before
ADT
. Mark Moyad coined the phrase "heart-healthy is prostate healthy" and I think he is correct. The American "food pyramid" is a disaster imo, with grains at the bottom & fats at the top.

A cautionary tale
He said no, since that is highly toxic and the SBRT will be just fine (he just wanted me to have 7 months of
ADT
). "You will get a few more good years and then we can SBRT any new mets again".

ART How to Increase TET Naturally; Dr Rena Malik, M.D.
I am coming off 21 months of
ADT
and at month 6 my TET is 185! Sounds low but I am thrilled to high heaven...thought it might never come back. At month 5 I suddenly noted I had hair on my arms and 'low and behold,' some on my chest!

An Important thing to know if considering Estrogen Therapy.
I was also accepted into a phase 1 trial and later told that I must go back on an
ADT
treatment for 6mo before they would accept me.

Taxol-Anyone had experience with Taxol
I have ER+ Her2- metastatic breast cancer. Tumors at in my spine, pelvis and a couple ribs. Up to this point in time I have been on Hormonal therapy regimens and the latest one (Orserdu) has failed. My Dr. is now suggesting Taxol (Paclitaxel) IV Chemo treatment. Anyone have experience with this drug?

Went to appointment with Radiation Oncologist at Emory St. Joseph's Winship Cancer Center - Dr. Bruce Hershatter. Good guy, no BS, straight shooter. He actually drew it out on a sheet of paper (front & back, back was worse) for me and talked me and my friend through the options (1) and pretty much

advice please!
Hello. I was diagnosed about a year ago with stage 4 prostate cancer. I was on hormone therapy but that is no longer surprising the cancer. It is in my bones, currently spreading in my pelvic bone and lumbar. I hope to start chemotherapy in the next month. But with my current health I don’t know

Looking for any Info for Recent PC Diagnosis
I’m a 62 year old, recently diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. I’ve been on hormone therapy for 2 weeks and see my oncologist in a week. My PC seems to be aggressive and my PSA is off the charts 885! I would love any positive info I can get.

Dosage question.
I was diagnosed with Graves and overactive thyroid forty four years ago. I had a thyroidectomy and started on synthetic thyroid hormone therapy. I’m 69 now and take 100 mcg of Levothyroxine daily, my TSH is 0.291, low. What dose should I be taking?
