Looking for any Info for Recent PC Diagnosis
I’m a 62 year old, recently diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. I’ve been on hormone therapy for 2 weeks and see my oncologist in a week. My PC seems to be aggressive and my PSA is off the charts 885! I would love any positive info I can get.

Dosage question.
I was diagnosed with Graves and overactive thyroid forty four years ago. I had a thyroidectomy and started on synthetic thyroid hormone therapy. I’m 69 now and take 100 mcg of Levothyroxine daily, my TSH is 0.291, low. What dose should I be taking?

Ascites
I’m going through the diagnosis process at the mo. Had CT scan last week. Follow up appointment isn’t until a week on Monday. I’m quite sure I’m suffering with ascites. Do I wait til that appointment to find out or should I call someone (consultant’s secretary or my own GP) to ask for it to be drained

MRI HCC Scan and bloods.
Hi guys.I have just received my 6 months routine MRI Scan results . Like the other 5 scans I've had they've shown no features of concern and my next routine scan is booked for 6 months. The monitoring liver blood result was normal ( AFP <1). On the blood form for the next scan it shows Cirrhosis CPT

Fibroscan Frequency
I had a Fibroscan 3 months ago as an earlier US diagnosed I had cirrhosis. I have fatty liver and a LSM of 28.2 . I have given up alcohol completely since then. I asked the consultant when will I have another Fibroscan . He told me in about a year. I was hoping to have another one much sooner so

Encouraging results
Went for 6 monthly US today and they also fitted me in for a fibroscan. Well...the US showed a regular shaped, smooth liver with no nodules and only mild fatty liver. Fibroscan was still high at 40, but much better than 10 months ago when it was 74. My liver is recovering from the years of alcohol I

pigment dispersion syndrome
Hi lovely people 😀 I have EDS, not lupus, but many of my symptoms are similar I’ve recently been dxd with pigment dispersion syndrome by an ophthalmologist at our regional eye hospital. It happens when pigment from the iris sheds onto other parts of the eye, causing inflammation and vision problems

Pluvicto and PSA
Hi Gents, Prior to starting Pluvicto my PSA was 29.29, after round 1, 23.67, after round 2, 14.47, after round 3, 17.70. I then had a PSMA-PET scan. It showed all bone metastases except one were either receding or gone. After round 4, my PSA is now 21.51. I don’t get it. If almost all my metastases

Updates to de novo metastatic prostate cancer treatment
Q. Is the current standard of care has changed in just one year? Docetaxel may now be considered in low volume and de novo disease together with an AR pathway inhibitor and radiation therapy indications should be extended not only to low volume but also to high-volume de novo disease? A. Yes, there

to anyone new to the group.....
Hi - and welcome! My name is Donna - I facilitate this support group for The PBC Foundation - Health Unlocked. If you are new to your diagnosis, first of all, take a breath. It’s ok. We all, myself included, have been exactly where you are right now…. scared, unsure, mad, sad, and so much more. Stop

Organ Donation for Transplant and Research
This post is talking about Organ Donation upon Death, so please take care to choose to read on further.
I recently went down to the Blood and Transplant Service Head Office in Bristol and attended a workshop on the importance of organ research. There were four of us fellow liver transplantees

Bit old fashioned...
I discovered that a castor oil pack really helps with knee pain. It's horrible sticky oil, but it works topically (for me at least). I have bad memories of this stuff from my childhood. Any hint of sickness and out came the bottle. I would not recommend injesting it! 🤮 it's better than the deep heat

Scott completed the almost 11,000 mile cycle trip
Some of you have been following Scott's cycle trip around the perimeter of the United States while he was treated for advanced, metastatic prostate cancer. We are happy to report he finished. ESPN OTL did a nice piece summarizing the journey at the following link, hope it encourages and inspires you

What does ‘neuroendocrine differentiation' mean in metastatic prostate cancer?
My 71 year old dad has been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer with neuroendocrine differentiation - he had absolutely zero symptoms until a lymph node on his neck swelled up. It’s metastasised to his lower spine and sternum too. He’s just had his oncology appointment today and they’re going to
