Egg collection straight after FET - can you do this?
I had a failed FET earlier this week - third so far, two of them PGT tested. I want to do another egg collection asap. My consultant told me beforehand that would be fine but she is now off on long term sick. Got a new consultant yesterday who also said yes, that is fine, and put together the protocol

CT Scan
hello My dads psa increased the last few times it’s now at .60 so the oncologist wants to do a CT scan and then I guess if it shows anything he will change meds- he has had two pet scans prior about a year and then two years ago which were good. But now the pSA is slowly rising - Is this CT Scan common

Can Acupuncture reduce hot flashes
I’m having 6-10 hot flashes per day/night on Lupron 3-month injections. They’re interfering with my sleep. Hot flashes are the only remaining side effect (of Lupron) after stopping Abiraterone and Hydrocortisone ADT in January 2022 when my MO said my PSA of 0.06 was “near undetectable.” Yippee, a bunch

Making sense of test results v physical symptoms.
I've not posted on here for a very long time, but always read posts to gain knowledge from you lovely people. At the moment I've been referred back to the endo as my numbers are all over the shop, I feel absolutely awful and am struggling to function. I have had to fight each appointment for the tests

Trying To Understand Diagnosis
I mentioned in the thread 'Forum Etiquette' about the situation regarding my wife. Now, sixty-four days after urgent referral, she has finally received a diagnosis and we're finding it difficult to understand fully what it means and what it portends. It reads: [i]1. T3 N3 M1b left upper lobe adenocarcinoma
