? Cover required for endometrial biopsy
I have been on prednisolone for over 2 years now and still on 10mg. I have a hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy planned tomorrow and although this is only a minor procedure with no general anaesthetic or sedation, I’m just wondering whether I will need any extra steroid cover? Does anyone have any knowledge

He had multiple positive margins and one positive lymph node. He started hormone therapy 1 month prior to surgery. We

Elevated PSA #’s from sex (after RT & ADT)
I’ve been on Active Surveillance since completing my
ADT
and RT both in 2017 &18 finally coming out of castration in 2019 / early 2020 with a basement T level, so I began Penile Rehab. Well over a year after that, I was able to resume (what I now refer to as) sexual relations with my wife!

NDT Source
Hello Running very low on NDT. Any recommendations where to purchase from? Bought just before c-1-9. Please share available sources and variations. I have been on a few brands of NDT. All seem to work fine as long as it is NDT. So if my current brand is not available for whatever reason, it appears

WHERE TO FROM HERE
Hi. I am 10 months post thyroidectomy. I am well and am on 180ndt a day as a single dose. My GP is telling me he is concerned about such a high dose and feels I am using the NDT as a stimulant to live my active lifestyle. My GP has told me he is worried about me and the 180ndt is as addictive as nicotine

Increased Incontinence 2.5 years into stage 4
Diagnosed with stage 4 June 2020 with only treatment being
ADT
. Currently on Xtandi and Lupron. I have a couple questions for this amazing group. On my last 6 month Lupron injection the nurse injected the medicine very fast and spent a considerable time mopping up what was leaking out.

Dubious ADT treatment
Overall I'm somewhat worried this whole ordeal with starting
ADT
so early and not even following it correctly did more harm than good. Is it an expected result after stopping this treatment?

More drug news
I seem to have posted quite a lot about my experiences with drugs recently. I seem to be on a downward spiral and a learning curve at the same time - but not getting much relief from drugs for one reason or another. My last post was about Propranolol and I posted here because I was concerned about

Former patients of the late Dr Gordon Skinner
This post has two purposes. First, so that everyone knows about the research itself. Second, so that anyone who does feel strongly can make use of the opt-out. While hoping that few, if any, use this opt-out, it is nonetheless right and proper that each and every former patient knows of this opt-out
