Statin use and mortality risk in men on ADT.
New ADT study from Hong Kong (1). "A total of 4920 patients were included, consisting of 2578 statin users and 2342 non-users (mean age 76.1 ± 8.2 years). Over a mean follow-up period of 4.2 ± 3.3 years, it was observed that statin users had significantly lower risks of both PCa-related mortality

My decision on Radiotherapy -v- Prostatectomy
I hope this story might be useful to others. I'm based in the UK and had a PSA of 12.7 from a test in June 2023. That led to an MRI in August with a PI-RADS of 5 with irregularity on the front of the prostate. I eventually had a biopsy at the end of September after 3 cancellations (this was through the

The devil's dilemma
Between a rock and a hard place I am not sure if this topic has been discussed here before but it’s extremely frustrating to me since I don’t understand which way to go Very very interesting video. In a nut shell, the video discussion is about the introduction of NEPC and progression from HS to

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

After bicalutimide and a high testosterone level is pre treatment T just guess work?
Just turning to fellow travellers on our various journeys for some input/advice/ thoughts as I make a decision on how far to push to the SOC for my high risk G9, given my oncologist is saying 15 months adjuvant (I am nervous of anything less than 18 months) is enough given my co morbidities, age at 73

Divergent second opinion
My husband was recently diagnosed with PCa with 6-7 mets to the bones as seen on the PSMA Pet scan (see profile for details), The first MO we met at an NCCN center recommended triplet therapy. He has started Firmagon + Darulotomide with Docetaxel planned in the coming weeks. We also got a second opinion

New possible treatment being researched
Just read an interesting article about some research at Trent University that says there's hope for a new PCa treatment. It's a naturally occurring molecule called carnosine and seems to indicate much fewer side effects. As I've written before, I think ADT is too harsh and takes away too much, so I

What is role of hormonal therapy drug when taken with targeted therapy, eg Piqray or Ibrance?
I’ve been curious about this and wondering if anyone can explain. I want to better understand the role of the hormone therapy eg Faslodex when taken with targeted therapy such as Ibrance. Does it just reduce the amount of estrogen available to the cell and “lightens the load” on the targeted therapy?

How My Phobia of the Dark Helped Me Treat My OCD
I used to be afraid to leave the comfort of my bed nighttime for a fear of being attacked by supernatural beings. This was ridiculous. I prided myself in having a scientific mind. How could I be afraid of ghosts nighttime when I walked out of my comfort zone? I was pretty sure that ghosts didn’t exist

Valve Replacenent
I am awaiting a mitral valve replacement and am in the age bracket where either a mechanical or biologic valve would be suitable. Looked into pro’s and con’s of each but still struggling to make my decision. Any advice please.

New Developments in My Husband's PCA Journey
Hello, I wanted to provide an update on my husband's progression and, hopefully, some of you may have some knowledge to share or have a similar profile. His psa has risen from <0.04 since RP for Stage 3b to 0.06 in 9/23. A recheck a week later showed a rise to 0.1. This was followed by a drop to <.04

private blood tests and antibodies?
hi, I am going to purchase some blood tests, I would like thyroid, female hormones (started HRT and want to know where they are now) and vitamin levels. Do I need to test thyroid antibodies if my diagnosis is central hypothyroidism? Or is this irrelevant as the thyroid is not attacking itself? thanks

Controversial query re causality of PLMD
Most of you are RLS sufferers, but my question is more about PLMD, which is treated with similar medications in Western medicine protocols but is not the same condition (Eastern medicines treats them differently). Anyway, to the degree anyone knows, it is obvious that PLMD can cause depression and anxiety

PSA suppression
My PSA lows tend to be around 3.3, and it occurs to me that some might think it odd that I don't drive it lower. I think it is very common for men on ADT to draw too much comfort from a significant PSA reduction, if not a near-zero PSA. I have witnessed men misinterpret a dramatic drop in PSA as
