New Developments in My Husband's PCA Journey
Hello, I wanted to provide an update on my husband's progression and, hopefully, some of you may have some knowledge to share or have a similar profile. His psa has risen from <0.04 since RP for Stage 3b to 0.06 in 9/23. A recheck a week later showed a rise to 0.1. This was followed by a drop to <.04

To Thyroidectomy or Not to Thyroidectomy
Hi there! Hoping for some guidance, advice and possibly real life results from some members. I was diagnosed with Graves' Disease this time last year. I had every possible symptom you can imagine. I started on Methimazole almost immediately. My numbers have gotten better but are still not controlled.

Update to Feeling overwhelmed
Apologies for the long post. I was referred to the Rapid Access Chest Pain clinic by my GP as she is unsure if my chest pain and breathlessness is down to my lung conditions or if I have angina. I attended the clinic 2 weeks ago and was referred for a heart CT angiogram where they inject a contrast

Statins - get informed and know the risks
This is my take on things - my personal experience and that of people I have met, known and loved (family members). If you are being pushed to take statins I would advise people to read up and consider risks before deciding to go on statins.. AND IT IS your decision. There’s loads of literature,

New to all this
76 years old, no heart problems as far as I knew, just had one of my better games of golf for a couple of years and started to get an ache in my chest in the evening. So phoned the Healthline (I live in NZ) and they had a 30 minute wait, so tried the ambulance service, who operate a triage service.

Parkinson's disease breakthrough
The following article claims that the majority of "Parkinson's Disease" is started by just a simple bacteria called Desulfovibrio, and the rest about 10 percent is caused by individual genes. Parkinson's disease could be prevented in the future after scientists discovered that a certain strain of bacteria

Is it my lungs or PMR
I have gone back in my memory trying to figure out when my issues all began and in what order. I believe my PMR started in early 2019 when preparing for a dog show (possibly sooner and I just blamed it on old age LOL). Muscle weakness and shortness of breath were new to me. Over the next several months

What is an ablasion procedure is it safe?
Diagnosed with AFIB, cardiologist has suggested for me to look into ablasion proceedure. Taking Eliquis but an expensive drug to be on. Research shows this proceedure with ablasion only 70% successful to put heart back in a normal rhythem? Has anyone had this proceedure done?

Update On Eclipse Trial-another failure. Has LU-177 worked for anyone?
In 2010 at the age of 59, I had Da Vinci surgery with a Gleason 4+5=9 and PSA of 9. Post surgical biopsy showed all margins clear with no seminal vesicle involvement and Gleason post-op score was changed to a 4+3=7. Subsequent PSA was non-detectable as tested every three months for the first two years

Amiodarone again...loading dose?
I'm reluctantly back on Amiodarone ahead of a cardioversion in the next few weeks. I had an ablation five weeks ago and have been in AF for the duration.When I was originally on Amiodarone (before a successful carioversion) I started on a high loading dose. This time its 200mg once a day, the maintenance

Recent PSA test result no longer “undetectable.” What’s next?
After 5+ years of measuring “undetectable” with my PSA results I recently measured 0.24 NG/ML which I’m assuming my PCA is becoming active again. I see my oncologist on Monday, 8 Jan for a follow-up appt. Can anyone share with me what the likely next course of action will be?

ET Increase in Platelets Linear or Random?
I've had ET since my early 30s and my platelets seem to be increasing by a set amount each year, I'm now in my 40s and platelets are at 900. It seems like I should be able to plot that and figure out when its going to get to a worrying level. So I guess I'd like to know at what level will I need to

Metastasized to Bones
I have been seeing post saying poeple being diagnosed with metastasized PC. I was diagnosed with PC metastasized to my bones, after being under urologist care for 18 months I am wondering if poeple who get initially diagnosed with metastasized PC, whether it is because they were not under medical care
