Duration of ADT
I started
ADT
and had radiation to the spot and the pelvic lymph nodes. The radiation oncologist told me that 4-6 months of
ADT
was adequate but Kwon prefers a year. They are leaving it to me. I would love some input!

Just had hysterectomy due to prolapsed bladder and think it's come back due to severe constipation.
Completely fed up. Does this mean I have to have surgery again? I have also ran out of ndt again for about the fifth time due to it being so expensive and my tsh was really high about 6.5 when I had blood test for my pre op. It was also high the previous time as I had ran out then as well. I hate

Bit lost …wondering where I’m heading …
Hi forum friends I went to my gp Friday to see what help I might get re my thyroid now and also if I might see a haematologist re high serum iron but low ferritin (28 …5-204) thus can’t take three arrows. I didnt get many answers as he concentrated on a current kidney/uti issue I have so he’s booked

Modified Citrus Pectin - reply from Dr Eliaz
Patients were not on
ADT
during the study. They had no
ADT
for a few months before the beginning of the study. I assume that if we excluded anyone who had
ADT
we would have gotten even better results. 80% of patients with BRPC have increased PSA velocity/shortening of PSADT over time.

Results of TSH Modification Experiment
I inquired last week about what effect I could produce on TSH within three days. I appreciate the expertise and wisdom I received. I had just seen an endocrinologist who wanted to cut back my NDT because my TSH was 0.027. You advised me to stick to my rights as a human being. The endocrinologist seemed

Does PSA settle after treatment?
But now the goal is to maintain a really low PSA ( undetectable or less than 1) How will I ever know if it will naturally stabilise if I keep on
ADT
? Thoughts? DD 😎.

anyone got experience of private Drs or this reaction to dropping meds?
TO UPDATE, I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH AN ENDO FROM THE LIST AND AS MY ENDO ALREADY PRESCRIBES T3 ONLY THERAPY FOR ME (long story) HE MADE IT CLEAR THAT I WAS ALREADY GETTING THE BEST I PROBABLY COULD OUT OF AN NHS GP. SO NO NEED TO PAY PRIVATELY. Depressing to know no more nuanced help from anyone, but

Free testosterone
No
ADT
throughout my entire PCA history. My Radiologist has asked for Free testosterone tests the last 3 quarters. Not sure why? My Free Testosterone has increased from 8.0, 8.1 and 9.5(last quarter). I have an appointment with my Radiologist end of January to discuss PSA rise.

Results are in (Update 2/17/23)
So recurrent after radiation and 2 years
ADT
. PSA pretty close to 3 by now. Bone and CT scan done because my cheap insurance company denied the Pylarify until after the other 2. I don't mind the extra contrasts, barium or whatever hell else they gave me. I keep asking is it nuclear.

Anyone with knowledge, personal experience, studies, trials with Radical Prostatectomy after bone, lymph node and/or soft tissue metastases?
Found this: Treatment with radical prostatectomy (RP) plus adjuvant external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), androgen deprivation therapy (

), or both (MaxRP) provides equivalent survival outcomes as EBRT, brachytherapy, and

(MaxRT) in men with Gleason score 9–10 prostate cancer, according to a new

Needing some input after gastroscope
Hi all: So I had a gastroscope yesterday and today I’m riddled with extreme fatigue. I’ve had a gastroscope before and never experienced such fatigue. The other times there was an anesthesiologist that gave me drugs to put me to sleep. This time an egotistic doctor informed me the procedure would be
