Soiling Issue
After 2 years of chronic constipation I disimpacted my 6 year old last October which resulted in less soiling. My son was even getting the sensation of needing to go again maybe 3-4 times per week. We managed to wean him off Senna (started to give him tummy cramps) and have stayed on a maintenance dose

Lupron+docetaxel+Abiraterone
I completed 1 month of
ADT
with no side effects and my PSA dropped to 1.0. Met with my Oncologist today and he proposed changing my treatment to mirror the CHAARTED clinical trial (Lupron+Docetaxel).

Update on my daddy- 8 years stage four
Hello guys! I wanted to give a little update on my dad. He was diagnosed stage four prostate cancer in June 2015, with a PSA of 257 and a single lymph node involved. His prostate was so enlarged at the time that he had to have double nephrostomy bags. He started hormone therapy and chemo immediately

Vit B/Folate Advice Needed Please
Ever since having my jabs in October I felt very ill initially and then I have carried on feeling unwell and so recently I did an advanced thyroid test with Medichecks and realised my thyroid was out of kilter so I've upped my NDT by 1/8 grain (knowing I had some wiggle room). My vitamins all took

Latest test results
Hi, Slow Dragon kindly suggested I submit my latest test results , given that I continue with episodic fatigue. ( also heat/sweats). I’ve had a number of blood tests over the past 6 months all apparently normal but of course only TSH tested in respect of my diagnosis of hypothyroidism, prescribed currently

USA changes status of NDT products. Their 'Grandfathered' status is to be removed.
All NDT products status will be changed from natural to biological and as such will have to go through the same rigorous process as is expected of other biologic drugs. They must comply with this and be approved by 2029 to continue. In addition the FDA has given permission to individual state to ban

Technically I was "off" of

Radiation treatments for oligometastatic lesions
This makes me worry about taking the route of the wait and see until psa rises , do a psma, find the Mets and treat with radiation INSTEAD of just starting systemic therapy (
ADT
).

NDT Users - Split Dosing
If you use NDT and you dose it twice a day, how much of a gap do you leave between the two doses? And how do you determine how much to take in the first dose and how much in the second? I've tried once a day and it doesn't work for me. I run out of steam. I've tried three times a day, 8 hours apart

Intravenous Iron, oxidative stress and vitamin E and selenium
I have been reading about the possibility that some people may experience oxidative stress with intravenous iron therapy. I thought this article was interesting as it states that vitamin E and selenium are powerful antioxidants that can somewhat mitigate this problem. I would not suggest synthetic

Continuing Lupron
On July 17, 2022, my last
ADT
vacation was ended due to some progression of metastatic lymph node cancer in CT scan at a PSA of 1.1. My MO put me back on Lupron for six months hoping that PSA would drop to undetectable by the end of the six months.
