Elevated Liver Enzymes
Hello everyone, hope you are doing well. I just recently had LFT, 3 enzymes came back a little elevated. Alt was 52, Alp was 121 and GGT at 72. Ast according to the lab was normal at 35. CBC was all good too, ANA was negative, kidney function test was normal as well. All the other protiens and enzymes

SOC & PSA
Three months post RT, my RO ordered a non-ultrasensitive PSA test with a lower limit of "<.1". I see posts of folks considering an increase from .02 to .06 a PSA doubling - obviously which would not be observable with my PSA test. This makes me wonder why: 1) Is there any good reason why an ultrasensitive

Worried
I am a 41 year old male. I have always drank but only ever lager. Maybe 2 cans a night after work each night in the week and 7 or 8 cans on a Friday and a Saturday. Was getting little twinges under my right ribs and in my side so haven't drank for 2 months but the twinges are still there. Not painful

Becoming mCRPC despite falling PSA
Hey guys, I got a question regarding my dad. He was diagnosed in summer 2022 with stage 4, Gleason 4+4, PSA of 122 and many osteoblastic bone metastases throughout the whole skeleton (very high volume) He did the triplet therapy, which lowered his PSA to 0.4 (January 2023). Scans afterwards stated

Metastasized to Bones
I have been seeing post saying poeple being diagnosed with metastasized PC. I was diagnosed with PC metastasized to my bones, after being under urologist care for 18 months I am wondering if poeple who get initially diagnosed with metastasized PC, whether it is because they were not under medical care

All kidney tests normal EXCEPT albumin/ creatinine ratio
hi. Haven't posted in while. My duff went up from 40 to 70!! But now test just came back that my albumin/creatinine ratio is slightly above normal. Should I be concerned?

Basal Cortisol Test Result
I have recently had a basal cortisol test and my serum cortisol level is 296 nmol/L. I have an appointment with my GP on Wednesday to discuss. My test results says that this is normal but on reading information on the Internet I’m not too sure that this is entirely correct. I have found the following

Any treatment after Lu-177 (Pluvicto)?
I have metastatic prostate cancer and have taken two Pluvicto infusions, but my PSA has gone UP from 2,000 to 3,000. I understand this is the end of the line...unless anyone online has information on where to go from here. Frank.

Return of Armpit Odor - Yikes!!!
For almost two years, I (and others! 😃) have noticed the absence of male armpit odor. Attributable to full ADT (for metastatic PCa) and suppression of testosterone. (I'm on Triplet Therapy.) This morning I was surprised to notice odor for the first time since diagnosis. Due shortly for blood panel including

Fatty liver in biopsy but not scans
Hiya, I’m just curious if anyone has had a similar experience where their liver biopsy results shows signs of fatty liver but ultrasounds/CT show an enlarged liver but no fatty liver signs. I’m wondering if this means it’s extremely early stages maybe?

PSA Rising
Had surgery in November 2021. Gleason 4+3...Post surgery PSA was 0.01. Positive margin (1 millimetre). PSA has risen from 0.1 to 0.06 in 24 months. Doctor says I should do nothing. Until it hits 0.2. Next test is June 2024. Any advice will be appreciated.

Advice Greatly Appreciated
Good Day, I would sooooo appreciate a response/advice/opinions.... I was recently advised by my GP (family doctor) that I have cirrhosis. This is of course terrifying...I apparently had sever fatty liver in July 2021 but I was sadly not informed of this. I would have turned it around immediately.

Beta blockers
I'm 68, female with NASH/ Cirrhosis which is compensated. I have recently been prescribed 1.25 mg of Bisoprolol Fumarate (beta blocker) but I'm so anxious about taking it as my GP seemed unsure about any effect on my liver. I was wondering if any members take beta blockers with no ill effects? I'm also

Diagnosed in 2010 with advanced PC. Prostatectomy in 2011 followed by the "all clear". PSA refused to disappear and so RT followed. PSA still present and PC nodules found in my lung in 2021. I then had a 6 session course of chemotherapy and have been on Abiaterone and Demoxosone drugs ever since.Nodules

Do you know your pulse?
Your heartbeat is the most fundamental rhythm in your life, signalling the regular pumping of your heart as it propels blood carrying oxygen and nutrients to the rest of your body. We take the regular beating completely for granted, never giving it a second thought until the elegant control process

💤 sleep
I've always been a good sleeper but following the stroke triggered by brain aneurysm surgery. I've been regularly finding myself waking at 1-2am thinking it's the morning and time to get up. I'm living in a rehab unit so there are always staff around to reorientate me to the time but it's an annoying

PSA Risen in Last 6 months
Have been on here a week ago, explaining that my husband (who was diagnosed 10years ago) has now been diagnosed with Gastroporesis, so not eating much due to constant nausea and vomiting. We are due to see his Urologist in 2 weeks time, so had the dreaded PSA blood test. It had been almost undetectable
