Another Cialis Question
I think this is in my profile, but: Gleason 8 (4+4), RP done 5/2022 showed ECE and a positive lymph node. PSA rising by 6 weeks post-op. ADT started 8/2022 and he had radiation 9-11/2022. After some ups and downs with his liver values, he is currently taking Orgovyx, Abiraterone, and Prednisone. PSA

OVM 200 clinical trial on TV

The ‘shout out’ is for ovarian cancers so I may not have had an immune response but I have heard nothing formally except last weeks scans

Blood Test Result
After being on ADT for two weeks, my blood test shows my Testosterone to be 109 (low). I guess this is the goal of ADT, to lower my Testosterone. However, in the same test result, the following was flagged as either low or high. Can my ADT attributed to the issues flagged by the test result? RBC
