mHSPCa with undetectable PSA - chemo-only?
Is chemo-only justified, without ADT/androgen receptor pathway inhibitors, in a case like mine with two new mets discovered and with PSA less than 0.1? I have had no SOC medication since 2.5 years, after SRBR to a single identified met. Gleason 9. This study points to ADT not being of benefit to low-PSA

Elevated Liver Enzymes and Terry's Nails
Hello Everyone, Hope you all are doing better. I had a routine blood test a month ago and my LFTs were slightly elevated, Alt was 52, Alp was 122 and Ggt was 71. Ast was normal at 35 according to the lab. Other things such as Albumin(42) Globulin(29) Total protien, kindey function, platelets (333),

Low PSA + high Gleason-FYI
I’ve just heard that this is a thing. Unfortunately it seems to affect my outcome. For instance, I had an initial PSA of 4.8 (4.6 after retesting), and I’m Gleason 9. Three of my doctors have mentioned it to me in passing (most recently today), which led me to Google it. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Selegiline side effects
Hi All. Due to drug shortages we've been unable to get rasagiline and had to swap to selegiline. Since the swap mum has had lots of unusual bleeding and the GP thinks it may be a side effect of the selegiline. Just wondered if anyone else has had similar problems and if so how did you resolve things?

PSA went up after three treatments of chemotherapy
I have had 3 Chemotherapy treatments with Docataxel. before the first treatment PSA was 89. after the first treatment PSA was 73.31.. after the second treatment PSA was 52.82. after the third treatment, PSA was 73.31.. does it make sense to take another chemotherapy treatment since the PSA has risen

Agonists vs. antagonists (the latter not to be confused with a character in a novel!)
I know many of you on this site are beyond ADT, but for those who are still holding on in that space, I'd like to share my experience with the newer antagonists drugs, degarelix ( U.S. brand, Firmagon) and relugolix (U.S. brand, Orgovyx). I started ADT exactly 8 years ago this month and during my off-and-on

Trimethoprim - ET
I have unfortunately developed a urinary tract infection. I am penicillin-sensitive and have been prescribed trimethoprim as a seven day course. I have been reading up on it and see that it should not be prescribed for patients with "blood dyscrasias" because of some interaction with folate. Does

Unsure of best option in early prostate cancer diagnosis.
I have had PSA tests annually for 10 years and in Oct 2023 had an elevated 6.42 result. Was referred to a urologist, whom performed a DRE. There was prostate enlargement but no tumor discovered through DRE. After discussing several options, I decided to have a biopsy on Nov 21, 2023. Dec 5, 2023,

wheat in cosmetics
I’m recently diagnosed with coeliac disease. I’m following a gluten free diet but have noticed that a product I bought to promote hair growth contains wheat germ amongst many other ingredients. As this product needs to be massaged into the scalp should I not use it?
