Testosterone was nearly back to normal, then dropped
I had a year of Lupron and Enzalutamide in 2022. Testosterone slowly came back to a high of about 240 in June and Sept 2023. Normal for me is around 350 - 375. Now this week T is down to 156. Is this sort of fluctuation normal? I had 6 months of ADT in connection with radiation for recurrent PCa

Platelets Dropping
Is this “normal” or any advice? Undergoing radiation since March, have 22 sessions done, 6 to go. Started Casodex in December to prepare to start Eligard in January. Radiation started in March. My platelets have been dropping. MO said could be due to Lupron and/or radiation. IMRT targets Gleason 9

BONE DENSITY TEST IS BAD
I am 68 with low volume metastatic to hip bones. Nothing elsewhere, at this time. Had PSA of 125 last April, and oncologist put me on Relogolix and Darolutemide. That along with going to plant based diet and adding weights and HITT exercise 3-4x per week, has brought me down to < .006. that’s the

Holding very low stable usPSA - 0.03X range for six years; no ADT, no chemo.
Eight years ago this month had RP after considerable investigation - nadir 0.050. Eleven months later had salvage RT; done at 0.10. Then after a year of pondering ADT and chemo, when my usPSA was back up to 0.10, I went to Europe for Ferrotran nano-MRI combined with Ga68 PSMA. The nanoMRI lite up

Blood test prep
Hi, Please can someone remind me what I need to stop taking before thyroid blood tests are carried out? I’m currently taking HRT transdermal oestrogen, DHEA tablets and progesterone tablets. I also started taking b vit complex, methylated folate, niacinimide, omega oils. I’m undiagnosed currently

More Evidence Linking ADT for PCa to Adverse Neurocognitive Effects -Meta-analysis shows increased risk of dementia, Parkinson's, depression
[i]As if we needed more reasons to dislike or avoid ADT, here is additional evidence of negative neurocognitive effects. This MedPage Today article will expecially be of special interest to those of us well into our "Golden Years" and on or considering ADT. [/i]

Failed RP & SRT; Negative PSMA PET
Greetings. I had a radical prostatectomy that failed and then salvage radiation therapy that appears to have failed as well. A recent PSMA PET scan showed no signs of recurrent prostate cancer or metastases. By way of background: NOV 2010 - Dx at age 52; positive DRE, Gleason 3+3, PSA 5.0; prostate

IMRT WITHOUT THE JELL
I'm scheduled for IMRT Radistion without the jell. Doc says the jell may push cancer microscopic cells away from the prostate. He said the cancer is about to protrude through the capsule and microsopic cancer cells could be out of the capsule and did not want to take a chance of putting the jell in and

Are Lymph nodes a filter?
Do lymph nodes simply act as a temporary filter to prevent cancer from spreading too far? I was curious about this because I have 4th stage prostate cancer, and my Lymph had swelled to the size of a golfball. When I took the ADT, my PSA went from 1000, down to 6, and all evidence of cancer disappeared

Will I ever get my son back?
My 5 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD and DMDD. He's angry and mean all the time. He didn't used to be this way; it started developing a few years ago and has gotten worse. We're trying now to find medication, none seem to work so far. He needs behavioral therapy but I can't afford it. He's so smart

Recovery of Testosterone
We all have heard about how long it takes to recover testosterone after you stop ADT. You probably also heard how age affects recovery time. The older you are the longer it takes and the T may never recover. The type of ADT you take can also affect recovery time - shot versus pill. I am 78 and I have
