up coming urology procedure and sick day rules?
i am waiting to have laser surgery with general anaesthetic on a benign prostate problem shortly. I am successfully reducing my pred for PMR for the second time in 3 and half years from 10 to 7.5 currently and taking it very slowly. Do I follow the sick day rules when having this procedure and if so

PSA Doubling Time
I suspect there are many ways to calculate PSA ‘doubling time’ but I seem to have a bit of a head scratcher. Have had a prostatectomy, radiation, Zolodex and finished 8 months of degarelix end of Aug. By 25 Oct my PSA was 0.44. On 15 Dec it was 1.99 and 18 days later on 03 Jan it was 2.84. By my Oncologist

Supplement for strength and energy
My husband (79yo) has been declining more & more over the past several years. He had RALP 2014; RT 2016. Since 2028 radiation cystitis with gross hematuria has not given him a break. He's now getting HBOT treatments (40), finally. But has no strength or energy. Are there supplement drinks and/or

Wondering whether anyone else with fibromyalgia issues, has problems with incontinence?I have signals during the day to get to the loo successfully, but after a night in bed, I am bursting and rarely reach the loo safely! It's upsetting and extremely embarrassing! I practice my pelvic floor exercises

Docetaxel and gemzar together. Too much?
My soon-to-be 77-year-old husband is on a double regimen of chemotherapy. Before starting chemo for advanced prostate cancer, he underwent a PSMA Pet Scan. The scan showed a small node on his left kidney duct. It was decided to give him two infusions, docetaxel for prostate cancer, and gemzar to

Double desogestrel pill
Has anyone else been told to take two pills a day? My gynaecologist told me to try it over a month ago to try and reduce bleeding and pain. My pain has reduced but the bleeding hasn't. Has anyone else had this experience?

Living with PD and enlarged prostate.
I wonder if other PWP and Prostate problems have been advised how risky it is for us to have a TURP ( the operation to reduce the size of the prostate)?

Hello, my husband with tremor dominant PD has been prescribed Trihexyphenidly (aka Artane, Trihexane and Tritane) by his neurologists to try and reduce his tremors. He is currently on Madopar and its not really helping. Does anyone have any experience with this drug? Many thanks.

Prazosin vs. Doxazosin for Prostate Cancer Inhibition
There is pretty good preclinical as well as some clinical evidence in Prostate cancer patients that two of the Alpha1 receptor blockers, give improved outcomes in terms of prostate cancer recurrence, progression and even metastasis. The two specific drugs with the strongest evidence are Prazosin and

Omega 3 and Salmon consumption
I eat Salmon once or twice a week. Considering what I've read here, is that something to avoid?. I am 26 months post EBRT. I obtained a rx for androgel for QOL. My latest psa was up to 0.1 after being undetectable. I have discontinued androgel since. Any advice will be much appreciated. Chasu

Hello friends and family it's Fancy 59. It's been now approximately 6 to 7 weeks since I received botox in my bladder for my incontinence issues with MS and I can tell you I have never been more pleased. My bladder is pretty much back to pre MS normal. I can often wait 4 to 5 hours before I have to
