Opinion sought for ADT treatment duration
I started taking Orgovyx tablets last April. Then I went through the typical 45 radiation treatments of the prostate. 3 months ago my PSA had dropped from 8 to 0.7. Last week it had dropped to 0.1 ng/ml. A biopsy last year showed 1 sample identified as Gleason 8. My urologist thinks I can stop taking

treatment and insurance questions
gleason 4+3=7 (70% pattern 4) involving one core less than 0.5mm. PSA 5.2. Biopsy results confirmed by MRI. I am 64 years old and will be 65 in December. I have horrible insurance with very limited treatment options. I would like to delay treatment until I have Medicare (5 months). I have met with

Curcumin Interactions with Abiraterone
Curcumin has so many good benefits that would help to cope with ADT side effects. Does Curcumin interefers with ADT (Lupron+Zytiga)? Does anyone taking Curcumin while on Hormone Therapy? Please, share the information. Thank you.

Can Nubeqa (Darolutamide) be used instead of normal ADT drugs for localized PCa?
Hi all. Australia has just given the green light to lower the cost of this so-called wonder drug from a staggering $40K (AUD) to a low $30. It seems that this drug has fewer side effects than the usual ADT drugs and from what I can gather does a pretty good job of preventing the growth and spread

Sex hormones
Does anyone know if 26.3 (16-124) is lower than ideal? My testosterone was bottom of range but now ok with HRT. I’m trying to get to the bottom of my low cortisol and whilst this is in range, wondered if it should ideally be higher like your thyroid? Many thanks

Importance of ADT
Are there any good outcomes without using ADT ( hormone therapy)? I delayed it for a couple of years with bad results. My history -- [u]

Virtual Reality Therapy Anyone?
I’ve asked my providers (PCP, Neuro, pain) about virtual reality therapy for ms issues. They’ve never heard of it being used or prescribed. I’ve read about it online only. The benefits for cognitive, physical and speech therapy sound solid. There are specific programs to suit your needs. Mental too,

Barrigel is now preferred over "SpaceOAR" gel?
Consulted by video with the doctor who is supposed to install my SpaceOAR in preparation for my IMRT. His first words were "we don't use SpaceOAR gel anymore. We use Barrigel." He explains it has fewer side effects but the same radiation absorption characteristics. Here is what "UroToday" says:

Leg Pain - 4th Week on Lupron
Hi Friends, I'm on 4th week of ADT (Lupron+Abiraterone). Yesterday I started feeling right upper leg pain in the quads area. I'm not sure whether it's bone or muscle pain. But it's getting worse. I can barely walk. At first I was thinking may be I strained it. But I didn't do anything different than

PSMA PET Scan - Help Interpreting Report?
Hello, My husband had his first PSMA PET scan done today, and I am hoping someone who understands PSMA PET reports can help us interpret/understand the results as well as what to expect or ask for in terms of any further testing and/or treatment? My profile is updated with his history, but in a nutshell

HRT and Lupus
I’m 44 and have just been diagnosed with lupus and sjogrens in the last couple of months- there’s an awful lot to Learn. My GP thought my joint pain and anxiety was perimenopause related, and I was prescribed Evorel patches but after a month the pain was increasing rather than decreasing and autoimmune
