Four Year Transdermal Estradiol Update
Well, it's been four years since I started applying transdermal estradiol gel (tE2) as my mono-therapy and I'm quite happy with the results. My SOLE side effect is some degree of gynecomastia which is a 'small price to pay to keep the PC at bay'! Just a brief history, and yet another 'boob' pic (taken

Hormone treatments- pro's and con's?
Hi, I'm new here. I've just been diagnosed after 11 years of trying to get a referral and to get a doctor to listen to me. I had my internal scan last year and they found cysts on my ovaries and said i could possibly have endo, (Which i suspected all along). I was meant to have consultations a few months

Cognitive Impairment from ADT and Advanced AR Drugs
Good analysis of database to estimate the neurotoxicity of hormonal treatments for PC. Takeaways 1) Yes they do cause cognitive impairment. And 2) Abiraterone +p is the only exception, reducing cognitive impairment in this analysis. Neurocognitive impairment associated with traditional and novel androgen

The importance of radiotherapy dose escalation and long-term ADT for success
Both increase "cure rates" in high risk and intermediate risk patients (at least "unfavorable intermediate risk" patients). https://www.prostatecancer.news/2022/04/the-importance-of-radiotherapy-dose.html

PSA rising
My husband has aggressive prostate cancer. He was diagnosed 9/20/2019. Gleason score 9. Because he is 93 he is only treated with ADT. His PSA was 100.4 when he started treatment. He had a TURP and found the cancer. My question is can he start having side effects after being on ADT for 2 years.

Testosterone injections for prostate cancer
It seems there is two ways this is being done. One is testosterone only, no adt and one way testosterone is the shot all by itself. I have two doctors willing to give me the T but there is no discussion of doing BAT. BAT is ADT alternating with testosterone. Today I visit the OC willing to do this. Presently

Life left to live?
I know we have talked about this subject before. I am an Australian and I appreciate this forum’s advice. I was told I was metastatic in October 2021. I had a PSMA pet scan which pointed out I had a infected Lymph node just outside my Prostate bed area. I started Lucian (spelt differently in Australia

Hormone treatment
There are so many helpful people on here to whom we have cause to be grateful, for their many suggestions. In particular we owe a great deal to Joanna Lane, who set us on cause for the hormone treatment my husband now has. If you can, read her book, "Mother of a Suicide". Don't be put off by the title

Orchiectomy or ADT
I'm 80 years old with ED since my prostatectomy. Both surgery an radiation have failed to cure my PC so, I find myself at a fork in the road. Do I have an Orchiectomy or use ADT medications. from what I have read, Orchiectomy has shown to have better result than ADT in terms of long term survival plus

What have been your experiences with the cancer pill?
My doctors are suggesting that I take a hormone therapy inhibitor in addition to the chemo I took last year. His suggestion is letrozole …. Thank you for any feedback! 💕

PSA .03 after Radiation and ADT
Visited my RO this week and my PSA was .03 after radiation to 3 lymph nodes and a spot on the iliac bone. He wants to stop Eligard for 6 months to determine, not sure what. Guessing to see if the cancer is gone but my understanding that once it has metastasized you’ll never really be cured, you just

Salmon Protein Hydrolysate
New study below [1]. Anyone here using
Salmon Protein Hydrolysate
? FWIW: "A growing body of evidence implicates iron dysmetabolism in prostate cancer progression. A bioactive peptide-rich salmon protein hydrolysate (SPH) has previously been demonstrated to modulate iron homeostatic mechanisms.

ADT and heart mitral valve regurgitation.
I was diagnosed with (There is mild (1+)mitral valve regurgitation.) yesterday. Can this be caused by my ADT treatments? Is it reversible? I never had this before I started ADT. Thanks

Treatment post ADT failure?
Reaching out to fellow warriors, yet again, for advice. It has been very helpful in the past. After a little over 2-years ADT has failed for me since Jan 2022. Cancer is spreading fast - PSMA PET scan found 8 new spots in my bones. The pain gets a bit worse every day in my ribs and pelvis. My oncologist
