Enzalutamide any advice/tips for dealing with side effects
Stage 4 PCA for last 3 years. Had 6 cycles of Chemo and then Abiraterone for 18+ months (PSA dropped to 0.2 then more recently rose to 58 in June '23 ). Abiraterone eventually stopped working and I was able to join Radium 223 trial. Completed 5 of 6 cycles of Radium 223, then elected to stop since scans

Ferrous sulphate
Can anyone help please with the best time of day to take these tablets? Or any experience with having taken them? It's all well and good to say take on an empty stomach, but they seem to cause reflux and when one is already taking PPI 's for acid reflux this is no easy task. Also advised by GP

Iron Bisglycinate
I have been taking Nutravita iron bisglycinate 28mg x 2 tabs on alternate days for 3 1/2 months. My ferritin levels were originally 50 and have only risen to 67. I’m confused about the dose of the iron. Is 28mg of iron bisglycinate equivalent to 28mg elemental iron? Sue said the two tablets (equaling

MRI-guided transperineal biopsy hurt so much
I'm curious if folks have recommendations about how to reduce what was an unbearable pain from the biopsy. I almost passed out and the thought of my next biopsy gives me cold sweats. What hurt was the process of the anesthetic injections. Each one at a deeper layer. It's clear that the anesthetic did

Others don’t understand
I know we’re all usually talking about our meds, but I’m wondering how everybody is faring when trying to explain to others what we go through. I’ve had my adult children question why I take oxycodone. Some seem to understand, some are very judgmental. RLS can start at 10:30 am, and is why I’m spreading

Success with iron therapy.
I'm happy to report that after 8 weeks of iron therapy, my ferritin level has increased from 66 to 152. I began by taking one 325 mg ferrous sulfate (65 mg iron) tablet plus a 250 mg vitamin C tablet on an empty stomach at least 2 hours after consuming food. About midway, I changed the iron source

Oral Iron supplements, doing it wrong!
Well, I got my full blood test back and after some analysis, I think I messed up. I have been supplementing daily with 36 milligrams of ferrous bisglysinate. Here are my lab results that concern me. Ferritin was 72! This is my lowest since my infusion in 2016. Eight weeks after my infusion

Oesophageal Diverticulum
Hi everyone, I have a small but quite symptomatic hiatus hernia and I'm feeling a lot of discomfort in the upper left side of my chest, much further to the left that one would expect the oesophagus to be. I've had an endoscopy and barium swallow and I've been told that I have a small mid-esophageal

Question about Ferritin level of 14.
Hi all. I haven't been here for a few week's because I have been in and out of hospital but in between my RLS has got worse. 2 Dr.s at my Surgery prescribed Iron but I couldn't take the liquid because it has cherries and I'm allergic to cherries and then Ferrous Fumarate but they made my stomach pains

Can Low Iron levels be caused by under medication for hypothyroidism
I recently had a blood test for a suspected DVT which turned out to be negative but the hospital rang and left a message on my phone to say that they had found that my iron levels were low and I should see my GP asap which of course I did. The GP thought the levels were due to a internal bleeding and

Radium-223 + Xtandi?
I’ve been on chemo (cabazitaxel + carboplatin) since Jan 2022 and also on Zometa and Lupron. PSA went from 1.3 in Jan 2023 to 11.7 this month. CT and Bone scans show bone mets somewhat stable but with activity, all bone no soft tissue. PET PSMA earlier this year did not show enough tracer activity
