Here's some charts comparing Lupron ADT to transdermal estrogen (TDE) patch therapy for High Risk and Very High Risk men with prostate cancer. The upper chart shows the percentage of men that have been castrated to a testosterone level < 50 ng/dL after 1 month of treatment. For Lupron, 65% of HR/

Here are some Early Results from the first year of the Transdermal Estrogen PATCH trial. References are available on their website at: http://patch.mrcctu.ucl.ac.uk.

Has anybody got any advice on how to deal with Covid when on combination therapy? I've just gone down with it for the first time and I'm wondering if I should just continue as normal. Have a pretty high fever and heart rate...wd the T3 exacerbate this?

Hi everyone I posted a couple of weeks ago and was advised to have bloods done. These are my results so hoping for further advice in supplementing or adjusting doseage. I currently take 50mcg Levothyroxine and 25mcg T3 daily. I also have B12 injections every 12wks. Latest B12 injection given day after

Good morning everyone We are delighted that NHS England has recommended that the MEK-inhibitor trametinib (Mekinist) should be routinely available as an off-label treatment option for adults with recurrent or progressive low grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC). This is for people who have received

Hello my dear warriors, My clinic in Spain has recommended to go for a natural cycle rather than a HRT one this time. However my immune medicine is prescribed by the reproductive immunologist and to his protocol he has written : start Clexane and Prednisolone on day 7 of HRT. The nurses in his clinic

Here's a chart showing % of men who have a given condition, comparing Estrogen ADT versus Lupron ADT. There's big reduction in hot flashes, and improvements in libido, when taking supplemental Estrogen. Estrogen increases gynecomastia (enlarged breasts), however. Bob

Hi everyone and thanks for reading. After having to go private I have been prescribed T4 50 mg. my thyroid has been struggling almost 3 years and iv suffered a lot with no headway from GP and an Endo. My results have been fluctuating. Latest TSH 3.22 (0.27-4.20) FT3 4.1 (3.1-6.8) FT4 11.5 (

1) Why do some advanced prostate cancer patients get offered "vacations", from ADT and others don't? 2) Why do some advanced prostate cancer patients have NO Chemo, and go directly to ADT + Abiraterone+Prednisone, while others begin treatment with chemo and radiation? What are the deciding criteria

hi.. I’m on levo 100mg for at least a year now, been diagnosed hypothyroid for 2 years I think. . Had these tests done privately dec 2023. Previous test a year before saw lower TSH - seemed to have climbed up, and higher T3 than before. I haven’t shown to GP yet- partly cos just depressed and exhausted

Hi everyone, Has anyone experienced an allergic reaction to Doxil? Almost three years ago, I was diagnosed with stage 4 MBC. After being on hormone therapy for over two years, mostly IBrance and Letrozole, and then oral chemo for six months, my most recent petscan showed the cancer is still spreading

Hi everyone. I posted on this forum a few years ago and everyone was so helpful. I wonder if anyone could offer some advice/reassurance? Quick back sorry. I had an SVT around 2.5 years ago and ended up in hospital. Had all tests and nothing wrong. Was put on 1.25mg Bisoprolol which made me horribly

Hello. I wonder if you would be kind enough to give me your views on my latest results please. I currently take 100mcg thyroxine at bedtime. My GP withdrew my T3 ( 5mcg) around 5 years ago. Apparently it doesn't work and was too expensive. I feel dreadful. I'm underweight with a BMI of 18 and on top

These plots compare results from the Phase-II randomized trial (PATCH) comparing estrogen patch therapy to Lupron ADT. These plots show that Lupron ADT causes bone loss, while estrogen patch therapy has either no bone loss or increased bone mineral density (BMD) over time. Bob

This plot shows a dramatic decrease in testosterone and PSA after starting estrogen patch therapy, indicating that transdermal estrogen (TDE) therapy effectively castrates men, and with fewer side effects than Lupron ADT.

Hey there,I'm just seeing if I can get any insight on this from anyone living this now.My father is 70 and was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and there was a spot on his rob as well from it.I don't know what stage it is but he is currently on hormone therapy and gets injections every 3 months

Does anyone know of recent studies, clinical trials or Standard of Care (SoC) protocols using or studying estrogen gels, sprays, ointments or patches as hormone therapy for Prostate Cancer, particularly micrometastatic cancer that has not spread beyond the pelvic region? I am in discussions with my

It now appears that I’ve entered the land of castrate resistance and further ADT vacations are no longer in the plan. My T level recovered much more quickly during the last vacation than during previous vacations, and my PSA rose correspondingly. At 4 months my T level was 325 and my PSA was 4. Another
