Is this a normal side effect of dialysis please and if so is there any treatment. We went to our GP but he was useless and unable

PSA nadir was 0.89 after 7 months of treatment but after that the last 3 PSA tests show increase (PSA 2.310 on 24 Oct. 2023, PSA 6.81 on 24 Nov. 2023

Dumb Question about rising PSA after initial RT.
If you still have a prostate after RT treatment 7 years ago ( NO ADT), could a slowly rising PSA just be 'natural' as you age? Have always been curious, as when initial biopsy was ordered, the doctor said, "if you were a few months older (70), your PSA level would not have prompted further investigation

How to monitor PCa after you stop ADT?
I've been on Zoladex implants for coming up to 4 years in February. I plan to stop ADT next time when it's due, as my PSA is always "undetectable" and it's been 4 years of physical and mental torment for me (the side effects). I think that enough is enough now. Does anyone have advice on the best ways

Spider Nevis, does anyone else have these?
Short story, hospitalised over a year ago with jaundice and ascites due to alcoholism, considered de compensated cirrhosis, original fibro scan read 22.2kpa, now it’s 9 and I’m considered to have fibrosis and not cirrhosis although my liver is obviously scarred and my doctor is quite honest when he said

Any Data or MO Advice Regarding Dutasteride / Finasteride At Very Early Biochemical Recurrence?
Does anyone know of any studies or MO advice they've gotten regarding use of Dutasteride or Finasteride at very early signs of Biochemical Reccurrence (uPSA in the 0.03 - 0.1 range) prior to Salvage Radiotherapy? It's obviously going to slow PSA doubling time and thereby probably lengthen the time

Mr Alan M
I have been missed diagnosed with liver disease for years I believe that I am still around because I do not drink and I am quite strict with my diet etc. I have also taken a lot of over the counter medication for liver disease. I believe that the disease has been caused by DILI / prescribed medication

Getting bombarded with ads for RA treatment Honey bee venom cream?.
Amazing too good to be true claims for this but there seems to be a few bits of research on it being anti inflammatory. Anyone tried it ? Still taking the meds....

Inmigrating to the UK with Sjögren's, how to?
Hi! I hope I am not breaking any rule because this is about Sjörgen's and not Lupus, and I am writing this on behalf of my wife. We will move from the USA to London in a couple of months. She was recently diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome, which took very long to diagnose, and she is starting a treatment
