Adding second line hormonal therapy?
Hello everyone. My father's treatment from diagnosis consisted of ADT (Zoladex, 3-month injections as of now) and 6 courses of Docetaxel chemotherapy. PSA nadir was 0.89 after 7 months of treatment but after that the last 3 PSA tests show increase (PSA 2.310 on 24 Oct. 2023, PSA 6.81 on 24 Nov. 2023

Dumb Question about rising PSA after initial RT.
If you still have a prostate after RT treatment 7 years ago ( NO ADT), could a slowly rising PSA just be 'natural' as you age? Have always been curious, as when initial biopsy was ordered, the doctor said, "if you were a few months older (70), your PSA level would not have prompted further investigation

The Flare That Keeps on Giving
I was diagnosed with PMR in August, 2022. I also have multiple sclerosis, autoimmune thyroid disease (Grave’s) and Sjogren’s Disease. With a few ups and downs when I had to temporarily increase the dose before dropping back to just above where I had been before the flare, my taper using DL’s slow 5 week

How to monitor PCa after you stop ADT?
I've been on Zoladex implants for coming up to 4 years in February. I plan to stop ADT next time when it's due, as my PSA is always "undetectable" and it's been 4 years of physical and mental torment for me (the side effects). I think that enough is enough now. Does anyone have advice on the best ways

Sweetened drinks linked to atrial fibrillation risk
Many, many years ago, I used to occasionally have a gin and tonic or angostura and tonic (if driving). And became convinced that, if the tonic contained saccharin, I would likely end up having a relatively high heart rate. But this was long before I had any idea about afib. As I hate the taste of saccharin

Heart Rhythm query…
Please can anyone explain ? My Kardia can show a result of Afib or SVEs even when my heart rhythm appears to be constant. It can show heart rhythm of say 61 throughout a 30 second trace, without fluctuation, yet reveal I have an irregular heart rate. As we are often told to check our pulse and if it’

Hip surgery
I'm due to have a hip replacement but nervous because I have paroxysmal A Fib. I' m on Edoxaban and have bisoprolol as a P I P, told to take after a few hours if it didn't resolve, but haven't had to take it . Would welcome some reassurance 😊

Advice Please
Please accept apologies if this is not the correct support group - just concerned as having Atrial Fibrillation from first thing in morning until I go to sleep. Not sure if this is related but pulse low at 40 and stays at that with occasional increase to 51. Have thyroid problems and advised to reduce

Lupus rash?
I have suffered many different symptoms for a period approaching 15 years. About 4 years ago my GP said that I had too many symptoms across multiple systems and there was nothing more he could do for me. He referred me to the hospital but I’m still waiting four years down the line. I discussed Lupus

Do you Know Your Pulse?
Do you know what a normal resting heart rhythm is? Do you know what an irregular heart rhythm feels like? Did you know that an irregular pulse can be the very early warning signs of an arrhythmia? It is vital you monitor your heart rhythm by taking regular pulse checks. For further information

Spider Nevis, does anyone else have these?
Short story, hospitalised over a year ago with jaundice and ascites due to alcoholism, considered de compensated cirrhosis, original fibro scan read 22.2kpa, now it’s 9 and I’m considered to have fibrosis and not cirrhosis although my liver is obviously scarred and my doctor is quite honest when he said

Good news on memory following B12 treatment
Hi, some of the regular posters may remember me posting in absolute despair last autumn about my husband’s cognitive issues and extreme memory loss. I’m now posting an update in case it helps anyone else in his position. In summary he had experienced symptoms over a couple of decades since he was twenty

GCA, Afib, heart failure
I was concerned my Afib following a TIA Aug 23 wasn’t controlled. GP requested bloods for BNP plus CRP/ ESR which hadn’t been done since March. I have had bouts of fatigue which have up to now been linked to adrenals following a Syncathen test. The CRP came back as 15, ESR 14. Rheumatology helpline suggested

Is vitamin K2 ok with edoxaban?
I'm in the UK I'll keep it brief but I take edoxaban and bisoprolol for afib. I'm aware that historically Warfarin has a question mark over vitamin K1 for various reasons Some people seem to monitor using inr testing but my question is that more modern anti coagulants use a different mechanism of action
