T and PSA basically undetectable. Is adding testosterone or having a colonoscopy 3 years post treatment a good or bad idea for the elderly?
Cancer in late 2019 was G9 with no indication of escaping the capsule. PSA was <10. Treatment initially casodex followed by one session high dose brachy, 25 sessions IMRT and 18 months Lupron. Currently PSA undetectable and T still <2.5. Pushing through a regular exercise routine but have no energy

Procedure Update
my colonoscopy went well despite the sharp poking that I felt. I have a tortuous colon of which I guess it has a few more twists and turns than normal. I also have diverticulosis in the sigmoid colon. I had several polyps removed consisting in a range of 3 to 7mm. So I will wait for biopsies on all

Possible colon cancer

After that he had rectal bleeding continously until his rescheduled colonoscopy, which was this past Monday. During that colonoscopy the

GCA since Feb. 2018 ---mid-transfer from one roller coaster to another. Its tricky.
I believe my GCA is under control. I am down to 5 mg of prednisone, and on that aspect, feel good. It has taken a year to settle into 5mg, and I hope others will read this and realize that sometimes it just takes a long time to get the dose down. I appreciate all the support from you folks.

Family History
Hi. I have had a positive FIT and have a colonoscopy booked in just over a week. My bowel habits have changed, and there are small black spots in my stool every time I go. I am also suffering from bloating and fatigue. I am just wondering how much a family history increases the chances of my symptoms

Sudden colitis
Hi all, I have been in hospital for 2.5 weeks after a sudden bout of diarrhoea (16-17x a day), abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. I just had a sigmoidoscopy which showed colitis but the dr’s are still unsure whether this is IBD or due to an infection (Stool samples were negative for infection

Persistent Diarrhea. Reliable SIBO test?
My dad (72yrs) has been having persistent diarrhea ever since he was on a PPI (Omeprozole) whilst on steriods in 2019. Whilst he is no longer on the Proton Pump Inhibitor the diarrhea remains. It is daily. I suspect it is potentially due to low stomach acid which has resulted in SIBO. (He has hypothyroidism

pressure on my bladder
my story has always been diahorrea and very long floppy bowel apparently so long the tubes doing colonoscopy only managed to go half way so was advised not too have another colonoscopy as so many loops they could perforate bowel. But the last year has changed I know have chronic constipation and 2 weeks

Does anyone have symptoms that are linked to urinary problems. I had TURPS surgery about 3 years ago which went ok but my nocturia symptoms have never gone away. I often wake up at night 3 or 4 times with the urge to urinate both nothing comes. When I have a bad night it often coincides with a bad bout

Telephone consultation for bowel problems!
Four months ago I was referred for an urgent colonoscopy, at the time I was advised there would be a 9 weeks wait. A few weeks later I was asked to do a stool sample and post back, done asap.

diagnosis doubts
I was diagnosed with limited systemic scleroderma 4 years ago with the usual positive ANA blood tests. But I still have difficulty believing the diagnosis – there is nothing visible!
