mTOR
Gecrellin mentioned Sirolimus [Rapamune, aka Rapamycin] in his recent post; it is an mTOR inhibitor. Rapamycin was in the news today, because of a dog study [1]. Just why this anti-aging study made the front page of the NY Times is a mystery, since there is coverage elsewhere going back to 2014. Anyway

I've run out of Metformin
Hi, I'm new here. I've had diabetes type 2 for about8 years. I take Metformin twice a day and I forgot to get my repeat prescription. It's Saturday evening & I can't get to my doctor until Monday. Has anyone else been in this position? I'm not sure if I need to be worried about it.

Hypercholesterolemia, ADT & CRPC
New Korean study [1] below. The study found that hypercholesterolemia shortens the time to ADT failure in men with bone mets. I don't know how high cholesterol has to be to meet the definition of "hypercholesterolemia". But perhaps a cutoff would mislead. One way that PCa uses to escape ADT, is to

Back on the roller coaster! ROUND 2 *DING DING*
Hi lovelies. I hope you're all well. After a little break after our BFN in March we are soon starting cycle 2. We had our follow up appointment and all seemed ok and we were told the BFN after 2WW was just down to bad luck. So I'm doing short protocol stims from end of May and have started the pill

Hi, I am new here, and would like to introduce myself. My husband was diagnosed with PC in 1993, when he was 58. He just turned 81. The initial diagnosis was done when his PSA was 12, Gleason 7. He underwent radical prostatectomy. In 2001 his PSA started to go up and reached 4.4. Bone scan did not show

Low Dose Naltrexone
Just an update on my LDN journey. As far as Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is concerned, it is an unlicensed drug which, as far as I can ascertain, means that it is not on the list of approved drugs for doctors to prescribe on the NHS, but that if they wish to prescribe it it is perfectly legal for them

Metformin and Chemotherapy - Synergy?
New Chinese review below. Seems that Metformin may have synergy with chemo for a good number of cancers. PCa is mentioned. "In this review, we summarized the molecular mechanisms underlying anticancer effects of metformin, which included insulin- and AMPK-dependent effects, selectively targeting cancer

Metformin
Went to see my GP for a weight gain problem and he said I needed medication for my diabetes as my count had gone up from 5.1 to 5.3. He has prescribed 500 mg of metformin twice a day. Since starting the medication, I have had a lot of pain in my lower back, could the meds I am taking be the reason for
