wondering if traction for back is advised while on ADT
my nutty question, I have a back stretcher and it will pull vertebrae apart. U can do same by lying flat on a table gradually pulling yourself forward till abdomen and chest are perpendicular to floor and arms touching. Try at your own risk. I am not a doctor just an orthopedic nightmare with hundreds

Castration resistant in just a year? Normal or not? Provenge in my future.
I'm already "mildly symptomatic castration resistant." PSA tripled in the last 30 days (but still extremely low), after doubling in the prior 3 months. I was diagnosed with stage 4b (mets in multiple bones and nodes) ductal and started ADT 13 months ago. Nubeqa and Docetaxel (Triplet therapy) started

Testosterone and SHBG puzzle ...
Hello all, I am on HRT including testosterone replacement: what do you think of these results? High SHBG, high testosterone but sub-optimal Free Androgen Index, I was told by a menopause doctor that the index should be around 2.5 to be optimal and that is the most important indicator. I was put on a

cost of Forteo, Tymlos, Evenity, Prolia in USA
after being on HRT for a year my numbers have worsened and I now have osteoporosis in spine and both hips in the -3 range. In addition I need a biopsy for breast lump. Ugh. So I’m faced with choosing a new osteoporosis drug. Besides the side effects they all seem to have, I’m considering the cost as

Ugg, can we talk erections
So, even with Cialis I am having issues getting erect and certainly having an orgasm. Some questions for the group: 1. How much of this is the hormone therapy? Meaning, likely by now (more than 2mths on ADT) my testo has dropped very very far right? 2. Why doesnt Cialis help? 3. What is my outcome

IVF medication following BFP for those with POF?
Hi everyone Hoping to find a consensus re: dates of stopping hormone treatment for those with premature ovarian failure going through IVF. Recently thrilled to get a BFP following D5 DE FET (still early days, only 4.5 weeks along). My clinic seem to adopt a 'one-size fits all' approach and stops progesterone

Provenge criteria necessary for acceptance.
Apparently Medicare will pay for Provenge provided we are castrate resistant and metastatic. But are there other requirements like certain PSA parameters and lower testosterone levels? Do we have to remain on ADT while being treated with Provenge?

Radiation treatment for gynecomastia? Anyone?
As we all know, ADT treatments can cause a side effect known as gynecomastia. I am experiencing gynecomastia after being on Orgovyx and am considering the radiation treatment for it. Has anyone out there done the radiation treatment for gynecomastia? How did it work out for you? Did you experience

Emotional lability and LT ADT
At certain times of extra stress, like awaiting a PSA test result, I have gotten into wrist-slap trouble by making awkward humor and remarks to Clinic staff. They get PO'ed and tattle to my MO. It's really not like me and the latest incident prompted me to look into ADT and emotional SE's. Bingo!

No difference in SBRT vs conventionally fractionated radiation for intermediate risk patients
