Best Evidence So Far: Metformin Has No Benefit for Prostate Cancer
The highest level evidence so far is consistent. In 2024 we will get a more definitive answer from the STAMPEDE-K trial. https://www.prostatecancer.news/2019/11/metformin-not-for-prostate-cancer.html (edit: Because "levels of evidence" seems to be a difficult concept for many laymen, I added a section

TREATMENT AFTER FIRST-LINE CHEMO?
Dear all, thank you for your support and advice. My dad finished 8 rounds of chemo and his PSA currently is 0.29. MRI result after 8th chemo round saw the wound at prostate was 10 x 14mm, bones mets (stable in comparison to previous MRI result). The MRI result after 6th chemo round did not say anything

sugar levels up
Hello all, hope everyone is staying safe. Recently my fasting sugar levels and post meal have been going up for no reason I can attribute to. Quick background: I'm 55, male, was diagnosed with Type 2 in 2011 in Singapore (been here since 94). I was given Metformin 500mg and Dimicron XR60 at that time

Should Losartan and Metformin be taken with food to help the Kidneys.
I have CDK stage 2 (65 GFR) and I am taking both Losartan and Metformin for HBP and Diabetes. Based on your experience, does it make any difference for the Kidney's health to take them with food, or do you think is Okay to take them without food? I would appreciate the benefit of your experience.

CareOncology Protocol
We have added the CareOncology protocol of mebendazole, metformin, doxycycline, and atorvastatin to my husband’s regimen. We probably started too late, but are hopeful. Has anyone here had success with adding this protocol?

DAPAGLIFLOZIN
After finally stopping canaglifozin due to side effects . Dapagliflozin has now been prescribed at a much lower dosage for my diabetes in its place, which I have been advised also works well for heart failure too. I had a HA which was a year ago 13th November. I am well now happy and I believe healthy

Bad meds
I have a question....I’m type 2 diabetic. A few months ago I got really sick....no energy, no appetite , and explosive diarrhea. I took Anything I could get my hands on to make it stop. The next time I went to my PCP she took me off my metformin. 2 days later I was instantly better. All the above

Anyone have any insight on Metformin?
I take the drug metformin for T2D and have just read (via links from this site) about supposed or possible anti-PCa benefits of this drug. Anyone have any knowledge or experience in this area?

Update: need advice!
Hello! I thought it was time for another update since it’s been a few months since my last one. I’ve been staying with my grandparents for almost 2 months now and I’ve found a new GP to help me with my throat/neck problems. He is so nice he’s the best doctor I’ve had in the last 9 months that I’ve had

So confused at the moment
I was diagnosed with GCA in February 2017 and started on 60mgs Prednisolone. Regular blood tests and consultant rheumatology visits followed. A year later I was diagnosed with PMR. In January 2018 I was told I had steroid induced Diabetes and commenced on Metformin. I have frequent chest infections

Synergy of Metformin and Statins for improved OS in APC
Here is another link on the benefits of combining metformin with a statin for improving overall survival in high-risk prostate cancer. It was especially strong for those who started them after prostate cancer had developed and were under treatment. Again, it is not a randomized prospective trial. But

Thyroiditis, insulin resistant PCOS, menopause, High BP
Hi - Not entirely sure where to post this given the list of above diagnoses I have just been saddled with. Saw a private Endo, who was amazing, and has said I have all of the above. He's put me on propranolol (beta blocker) for the Thyroid and high blood pressure (180/150), metformin for the insulin

The Road Less Traveled
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED written by a prostate cancer patient who wants to be anonymous (posted by me on his behalf.) Most men if they ever think about their death presume it will be fast and painless. A PCA diagnosis can shatter that presumption. From age 70 to 73 my annual blood work showed an increasing
