I had a total knee replacement 3 months ago and I’m due to go back to part time work next weds. Should I increase my pred for a couple

Hey guys, everyone has been truly helpful on this site I keep posting as I endure my 18-24 months of hormone therapy that I have remaining. The last leg based on the Stampede Trial. I started on Lupron and Zytiga after successful radiation to my lymph node. This was seven years after proton radiation

Hi everyone. Hoping to get some input from the collective experience and knowledge of the helpful people on this forum in making a decision on course of treatment. I apologize for length of post, but, with two issues (prostate and kidney) it took a bit to accurately explain. Newly diagnosed with Prostate

Low Testosterone and value of continuing Hormone Therapy
83 year old male with a question: My understanding is that the role of hormone therapy is to lower one’s testosterone level. Does hormone therapy provide additional benefits in fighting prostate cancer beyond lowering testosterone levels? I was diagnosed with high grade prostate cancer (Gleason 10

Summertime
The past July and August show an unexpected very strong improvement in my PD symptoms, without any changes in my supplement list. Meanwhile, my CD-LD dosage did reduce significantly. Probably due to a confluence of circumstances, such as the warm weather, diet, anti-stress, sunlight. We are more or less

Can Biased Beliefs Play a Positive Role in Some Circumstances?
A mother who comes, with only a stick, to the rescue of her child being attacked by a mountain-lion may be willing to believe she’ll drive the animal away even if objectively the odds are not in her favor. She draws her strength from her biased belief. So, depending on circumstances and what is at

Brain lesion
anybody here who experienced brain lesions that might be from PCa? Current PSA is 0.025. It’s just confusing that after ADT works to remove all the symptoms including bone pain from bone mets, my dad was diagnosed with brain lesion after an MRI since he had mild stroke symptoms(slurred speech). Does

BTA and 'T3 does not cross the placenta'
The BTA guidelines on liothyronine state 'T3 does not cross the placenta'. There is some truth in this in that type 3 deiodinase (D3) in placenta converts T3 to T2. However, they fail to point out that D3 also converts T4 to rT3. The transport of T3 and T4 across the placenta is very complex but the

My PSA tripled in 8 months
I had my RP in Jan 31, 2023, started hormonal therapy from April 17 with Diphereline every 28 days plus one Casodex daily. My PSA went down to 0.005 from May to November. Yesterday I had my blood test again and the report indicated my PSA has jumped to 0.159. I am panic. Can you explain what does

NovoThor
Has anyone tried or have any knowledge of NovoThor PBM Therapy light beds? A friend saw a leaflet in a waiting room recently, so I’ve done a bit of research and it looks very interesting and if the stats are true good be very helpful for fibromyalgia sufferers, no mention of cost though!

cardioversion within 3 weeks of ablation?
Despite playing by the book and doing everything I could, I’ve been back in persistent AFib for 4 days since my ablation two and a half weeks ago. The arrhythmia team had me in for an ECT today and are arranging an appointment for a cardioversion possibly this Saturday. Just wondering if anyone else

Barrigel is now preferred over "SpaceOAR" gel?
Consulted by video with the doctor who is supposed to install my SpaceOAR in preparation for my IMRT. His first words were "we don't use SpaceOAR gel anymore. We use Barrigel." He explains it has fewer side effects but the same radiation absorption characteristics. Here is what "UroToday" says:
