qol - Erectile Dysfunction Got You Down?
I may be weird (I definitely am), but I find dark humor a good outlet for the stress of cancer, the treatments, SE's, etc. I hope these corny jokes make some of you smile, and maybe even laugh. If my humor isn’t for you, please feel free to skip this post - or contribute your own funny wisecracks.

voice
I have such a hard time speaking loud enough to be understood. I had speech therapy lastyear and try to do it often,but it seems my voice volume is stuck at low. I have seen voice ampliers addressed on Amazon. Has anyone used one and what kind was it?

Now Undetectable PSA on BAT Regimen
Happy to share my latest progress report. Note that I am mHSPC, lymph nodes only to pelvis and abdomen. I have been on long-cycle modified BAT for 2.5 years now. 3 months of very high testosterone (400mg T-cypionate every 2 weeks), then one month of ADT using Orgovyx. My PSA has continued to decline

Fostair hot flushes?
Newbie still, so lots of questions, sorry! I’m having lots of hot flushes - am taking Fostair 200/6 two puffs in am and pm. Are the meds affecting my HRT meds (anything I can do about that?) or is it just the steroid effect to add into the racing heart and shaking hands?

Very slow start getting treatment and diagnosis
Hi everyone, My dad went to the doctor recently and discovered he has a psa of 255. His doctor ordered him a psma pet scan for a week later which was supposed to be today. He shows up and Kaiser cancelled the scan. They told me it happens a lot that radiology appointments need to be cancelled (? Not

Need to make a decision and I’m absolutely frozen.
[I’m 58 and was diagnosed 7 weeks ago with Gleason 4+3, (9 of 16 cores positive, only two had 4+3. A few 3+4’s and the rest were either 3+3 or negative). Perineural invasion on both sides. Decipher score .88 showing Luminal B Proliferating cells. No spread shown on MRI]. I have been around the gamut

booked in for full hysterectomy
hey I had a lap back in October and it looks like the endo has returned so I’m booked in for a total hysterectomy! I’m really scared about it all. How are you after yours? Has it changed you at all? I’ve already started hrt and get on really well with the oestrogel especially with less adhd symptoms

Has anyone ever had an Iron infusion?
Having suffered from underactive thyroid for years and taking Levothyroxine with mixed results, I also suffer from low iron and ferritin and Vitamin D. I find it hard to get my levels of iron up despite eating red meat and green veg and supplementing, and wondered if anyone had tried an iron infusion
