DHT / Avodart

There have been some negative posts regarding the potential benefit of Dutasteride [Avodart] against PCa. Dr Myers used Avodart in men on ADT who nonetheless produced significant levels of dihydrotestosterone [DHT]. (The true target of ADT is DHT - not testosterone [T].)There have been some negative posts regarding the potential benefit of Dutasteride [Avodart] against PCa.

TRT and measurable uPSA after RRP

https://imgur.com/a/nibLuxB I stopped the Avodart after 3 weeks as I became concerned that I could be masking a BCR. I also discovered Avodart can have effect up to 4-6 months after stopping it.https://imgur.com/a/nibLuxB I stopped the Avodart after 3 weeks as I became concerned that I could be masking a BCR.

Looking for Citations on research around low testosterone and low thyroid related to PCa, and about TRT for PCa.

Still on Avodart. Dx was ogliomet, G 8. Currently, scans are clear and PSA has increased slightly from <.008, to .011 over the last 6 months. Testosterone and thyroid are currently just below the lower limits, and have been for some time, as are WBC and RBC.Still on Avodart. Dx was ogliomet, G 8.

What to do now?

Continued Finasteride until Avodart replaced Finasteride on 3/04. PSA rose slowly from <0.03 on 1/00 to 73.2. on 8/20/19. Testosterone was 232 ng/dL on 6/12/19. Oncologist has asked me to consider Xtandi. Concerned about side effects. Has anyone tried Xtandi? What is best test(s) for Metastasis?Continued Finasteride until Avodart replaced Finasteride on 3/04. PSA rose slowly from <0.03 on 1/00 to 73.2. on 8/20/19. Testosterone was 232 ng/dL on 6/12/19.

Fenbendazole Just Might be Working–Part 2

--Start avodart (I used prior to ADT)? --cholera vaccine? –estrogen patches? There are a lot of things one could do, and I am already doing many of them. The question is, what would be particularly beneficial at this inflection point?--Start avodart (I used prior to ADT)? --cholera vaccine? –estrogen patches?

Of Werewolves, Vampires, Leukine and the Like

I presently take no medications for Pca other than Avodart. He considered my question a minute and then answered “Leukine.” Since my white blood cell count, as far back as my records show, has always been low, sometimes out of range low, he thought he could probably get the medication for me.I presently take no medications for Pca other than Avodart.

Dutasteride [Avodart] & Abiraterone [Zytiga]?

Avodart might therefore block one route to CRPC. & now there is another reason for Avodart use: From a 2016 paper (Cleveland Clinic) [2]: "Abiraterone {Abi} blocks androgen synthesis and prolongs survival in castration-resistant prostate cancer, which is otherwise driven by intratumoral androgen synthesisAvodart might therefore block one route to CRPC. & now there is another reason for Avodart use: From a 2016 paper (Cleveland Clinic) [2]: "Abiraterone {Abi} blocks androgen synthesis and prolongs survival in castration-resistant prostate cancer, which is otherwise driven by intratumoral androgen synthesis
