Walsh's Folly?
I posted earlier that I had to ask ChatGPt "who came up with the 'gasoline on a fire' characterization regarding the relationship of testosterone and prostate cancer" and that Chat GPT had answered -- Dr. Patrick Walsh -- (father of the radical prostatectomy.) In that post, discussion turned to Walsh's

Aetna appeal for Firmagon denial
My husband was diagnosed with high risk aggressive prostate cancer, Gleason 9. Plus one para rectal node positive. The doctor prescribed 2 years of ADT plus 5 weeks of IMRT. Had first 240 mg dose of firmagon on September 14 with no major side effects so far. Doctor used firmagon to avoid testosterone

Celebrex and Curcumin and Magnesium.
I recently received a question from a fellow warrior based on a comment I had made on an older post that he had started. The question was what I thought about Naproxen compered to Celebrex and I told him I had very limited experience with Naproxen. I then clicked on older posts about nsaids and prostate

Hello, I’ve had an underactive thyroid for 8 years after having my first child, looks like Hashimotos. Currently taking 100mcg levothyroxine and 15mcg liothyronine (10mcg on waking and 5 around 3pm). Also on HRT patches as am mid 40s and perimenopausal. I’m gluten free, have had SIBO in the past.

"Gasoline" Source
I have been trying to find the source for the observation? that "Testosterone to prostate cancer is like gasoline on a fire". I finally asked Bing Copilot and ChatGPT-- who came up with the answer. Me: What is the source of the "gasoline on a fire" theory in prostate cancer? ChatGPT: Dr. Patrick

ADT + Docetaxel
Am mCRPC and will be starting Docetaxel soon, after apparent failure of Zytiga. Would like to know if I should continue the ADT (zoladex), which I have tolerated well for 3 years. Most trial info I have found (STAMPEDE, CHAARTED) tests ADT alone vs ADT + Docetaxel, where the combination outcome is

Why is this so hard, someone to talk to
Hi everyone. I had treatment resistant depression for my entire adult life, I've been on pretty much every med, hospitalized, ECT tms and ketamine. Nothings helped. I've gone the DBT and cbt route. I've been suicidal. Can anyone out there relate? I'm married with a 13 year old which makes it harder.

Salvage options?
Hello again, I have a few more questions, to help my husband decide between surgery and brachyboost. For context, he is localized Gleason 9. (1) Is the course of salvage radiation after RP typically the same as it would have been if the initial treatment had been radiation therapy? Or would it require

If you are thinking of Travel - Go For It.
Hello everyone, We're midway through our 10-week holiday adventure, and it's been quite a journey so far! From Japan to Finland, Turkey, and now Italy, we've covered quite a bit of ground. Traveling alongside another couple, our time in Turkey stands out, where I took on the role of designated driver

Update after GP call
Had my call with the GP that I mentioned in my last posts. That was a bit of a disaster, although not as bad as it could have been. She did not read my notes or blood test results before the call. She asked me about symptoms, but was only concerned about weight gain and dry skin. I had already gone

Guess what? Your body has changed and will never be the same.
I recently read a post from a guy that stated he had muscle and stamina loss. The post and responses then went on in a very hand wringing way to ask and discuss things like, “should I eat whey”, “what about protein and in what form”, “I never eat or drink dairy products”. It then went on to lament all

Surgery or radiation, looking for some advices
Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advices for my father. He was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. He probably already had it for a long time. Quite high PSA (way over 20), and spread to multiple lymph nodes. The surgeon said surgery is still doable, followed by radiation. Radiation oncologist

Thyroid or menopause - which to sort first?
I've just checked the app, and the last of my blood tests are back. I definitely have started perimenopause and as per my last post I have high TPOab, high TSH (7.5 with high ref being 4.26), and lowish T4 (14.2 of a 12—22 range). I have symptoms that overlap the two conditions, but also symptoms that
