I am now 63 years old and I was diagnosed with PC in October 2021 when I was 60. In February 2022, I had a prostatectomy and in Sept/Oct 2022 I had 37 salvage radiation sessions to clean up cancer cells in the pelvic bed.

Hello. I'm struggling with the menopause. I had a total hysterectomy almost a year ago after Ovarian and Endometrial cancer. I had been taking HRT for six months but had to immediately come off it and now of course have no hormones at all to speak of. I feel bereft, anxious, utterly exhausted all

But my psa began to rise in late 2023, continuing through the present. Current psa is 0.36. My MO has ordered a PSMA PET Scan/Pylarify for next week. I guess I can

I have just started HRT patches as perimenopausal with lots of symptoms that are becoming unbearable. My question is has anyone experience dizziness with nausea and tiredness?? Got a wee bit of a sore head also. Is this just part of it getting into my system and it will pass?? Hopeful for you advice

I was curious. I read here some do enzalutamide alone without ADT or bicalutamide alone and have low psa numbers even with their testasterone being very high Whereas for those on ADT and ARSi both they say the testosterone numbers should be low and lower the better. Can someone throw some light

Hello, I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency almost a year ago after routine blood tests that I had done as I’ve been suffering with chronic fatigue since I had Covid 2 years ago showed my B12 levels a bit below normal range. My PA blood test came back as normal/negative but I know it’s not 100% accurate

I'd like to consider using estradiol patches to help with hot flashes but am concerned that the small addition of estrogen in the patch will make my slowly growing man boobs larger. I've been on adt (Lupron, Abiraterone, prednisone), for 10 months and plan to continue for a total of 2 years. My boobs

Hi I’m having menapause symptoms at the age of 69, I’ve done it once and don’t like the night sweats , fatigue, and everything else, my doctor says it’s normal practice not to give HRT at my age so has anyone been prescribed anything and has it worked?

Recently experiencing moderately severe hand pain (trigger finger). MO says it’s from the ADT injection. I’m currently taking Eligard and on Erleada. Prescribed a prednisone pack and suggested tart cherry juice and glucosamine could help. Any other warriors dealing with this? Good news is that

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in February after a dexa scan. I fractured my shoulder in December 2023. Still suffering with numbness in two fingers and hand and lower arm. I’m waiting on an operation for this although it may never get better. I stopped taking HRT in 2014 because of the breast cancer

I am 66 years old and have been on Lupron for 12 years along with Abiraterone for most of that time. PSA began rising 3 yrs ago and following a PSMA we did “wack-a-mole” on my largest tumor. PSA became immeasurable again but began rising about 6 months thereafter. PSA rising again for 2 yrs: .05, .06

Been on Lupron, Xgeva ADT + Abi +P for 2 years, PSA and T unmeasurable. for most of this time. Taking only 500 x 1 Zytiga daily w/o food (convinced ONC to continue test dose that worked) + 10 mg Prednisone that has lots of my suspect SE's associated. SE's were few and manageable but last couple months

It occurs to me that ECOG scores in negative numbers would be more meaningful than stopping at zero. When I got started in this adventure, my score was probably somewhere in excess of -3. After four years I'm still probably between -2 and -3. If trials were to include negative scores,
