Testosterone recovery after stopping ADT - 3
This plot shows the % of men who recovered their original testosterone level after stopping Lupron ADT, plotted versus the time (months) after stopping ADT, for three different durations of ADT (4, 6-12, or 24 months). The curves show that a short course of ADT allows men to recover their testosterone

Testosterone Recovery after stopping ADT -2
This plot shows the time after stopping Lupron ADT for the testosterone to recover to the original level for 50% of men, plotted versus Duration of ADT treatment (4 or 24 months). The longer the duration of ADT, the longer it takes to recover the original testosterone level, which makes sense. For

Testosterone Recovery after stopping ADT -1
Here's the first of four plots showing testosterone recovery after stopping Lupron ADT. The testosterone recovers quickest in the first 12 months, but then flattens out after that.

PSA rising on Triplet Therapy after <18m
Hi all. Hope you are keeping your spirits high. This is a follow up to a post I made in 2022 about my father. I haven't posted since, which reflects the period of relative normalcy that followed the commencement of ADT (triplet therapy) at MSK. I want to pause to appreciate that since I know most of

Diagnosed almost 3 years ago
I am a 70 year old diagnosed in 8/21 with G9 on biopsy with initial imaging negative for metastatic disease. Underwent RP in 10/21 with seminal vesicle involvement. A few sampled nodes were negative. 5 months after surgery PSA climbed to 0.39 from 0.016 in first post op test. PSMA PET revealed a solitary

6 months after MRI Guided SBRT at MSK
After a year and a half of Active Surveillance, my cancer progressed to GL 4+3 and I decided to have MRI Guided SBRT in August at Memorial Sloan Kettering in NYC under the care of Dr. Sean McBride. I had 5 sessions over 10 days and each lasted about an hour. The entire team at MSK was wonderful and

Graves Weight Gain
Hello, I’m wondering if anyone could give advice or have had similar experiences, but I’ve struggled really bad with weight gain on Carbimazole and I feel a bit helpless. I started a 20mg dose in July and within a month a put on 1.5 stone (20lbs). I freaked out. Especially since I had told my endocrinologist

High-Dose Transdermal Estradiol as ADT
Does anyone have any experience with this? According to my understanding: It's not FDA approved, but used here in the U.S., and all over the rest of the world. It's at least as effective in lowering T to castrate levels. It carries a far more tolerable profile of SEs than LHRH drugs, presumably

Estradiol patches
How can I obtain Estradiol patches without a prescription? (I assume I can’t get a prescription, since I am male.) This has been discussed on the list before, I think. Is there someone in Thailand who will supply Estradiol patches or the equivalent? If so, is this a reliable source? Thank you

Running out of time...advice welcome
Hi all - I just turned 44 last week and have had a negative result (after 2WW) this morning. I started my solo journey in 2019 and was told to go find a sperm donor/straws in Feb 2020...and COVID really mucked that up. I finally managed 2xICI in 2022 - one chemical, the other resulted in nothing. I started

Hello everyone. Firstly I want to say a big thanks to everyone that helped me understand my mum's results and situation. I also got my wires crossed and gave some wrong info. My mum did have a test before they prescribed 25mg, TSH 8.58. They said as she was 'borderline' they would try levo before considering

fast-rising PSA
I’m in the control group for the new Lutetium-177–PSMA-617 study re: use of Lutetium in the early stages of treatment for metastatic disease, pre-chemo.

Is this thyroid?
hi there, I have been struggling with what I thought was Peri menopause/menopause symptoms for a while (dizzy spells, headaches, brain fog, dry eyes, fatigue etc) Last year these symptoms got progressively worse with pain under left arm in lymph node and weakness to the point I felt like collapsing

Help or advice or suggestions needed
I don't know what's wrong with me. Let me try to make it simple. I always want to do something badly and very intensely. I'm just unable to make myself do that work. You can call it laziness, you can call it anything, carelessness, but I'm very sure it is not that. To give you an example, I'm going through

In Our Time: Hormones
On BBC Radio 4 yesterday (8th February 2024), almost an hour of discussion about hormones. I don't think there will be much new to members who have been around for a while. But there might be glimpses illustrating interesting aspects of hormones across all animal life. Thyroid hormones do get several
