Things I Like About ADT
I know that no one, like NO ONE, actually wants to be on ADT. There are a lot of downsides to it, and complaints about the fatigue, lack of sex drive, etc. are a common theme on this forum. I'm about a year out now from starting on Zoladex shots (a drug that works in the same way as Lupron), and I

MOST RECENT PSA and TESTOSTERONE TEST
My PSA and testosterone test results have been PSA .01 and T 11 since July of 2022. I had my quarterly test done yesterday and my PSA is at .02 and T is at 21.5. They are still undetectable, but not sure what caused the rise. I've only been on Firmagon for 1 year and 4 months so I hope it doesn't

Help! cascade of hormonal events after Covid booster! Not sure where to turn next…
Hi everyone I started having menopausal symptoms when I was 47. As I had the merino coil I was just given a 50mg oestrogen patch which worked wonders and got rid of the hot sweats. All was running smoothly until about a year later when I started getting hot flashes and itchy skin. Went up to 75 patch

On 100mcg Levo keep waking at 4am heart rate has increased.
I’ve been on 100mcg for nearly 6 weeks now. I’ve been taking melatonin for about 3 months and sleeping well but I’ve stopped taking it as I’ve been reading it can lower your Testosterone levels. Felt fine stopping was sleeping ok for a week but gradually my resting heart rate has gone from late 40s to

Update: PSA after IMRT
After my 40 treatments, I wanted to get off the bicalutamide I had been on for 2 months. My breasts had not only gotten enlarged but they had also become quite painful, and the Tamoxifen my RO had put me on did not help with this. He then ordered an early PSA test, and when it came back at just .12

My son’s Testosterone results:
Last week I posted my son’s three month PSA test and learned that it was the same as last time <0.10 and now I have the matching testosterone results of 7.0. How good or bad is that? I am unfamiliar with testosterone numbers after all the medicines he’s taken, and radiation. I don’t know what the previous

Low testosterone 35y/o F
Hi all, I had a female hormone panel done because I suspected something was awry with sex hormones alongside Hashi's and extremely low cortisol (currently on levo, T3, and hydrocortisone). It's come back with good estrogen and progesterone but almost undetectable testosterone: Testosterone: <0.087 (<

Any advice and support for recently diagnosed
Hi all. Appreciate anyone who reads and responds. I recently went to the doctors as my periods started to become less regular and also lighter. I had blood tests which showed my testosterone was slightly high, I was told it was slightly higher than the range they would expect it to be, and from that

FSH going from 8 to 43 just in few weeks while preparing for a FET, is it temporary or menopause?
Hi Ladies Can anyone help put a light to my issue of FSH going from 8 to 43 just in 2-3 weeks while I was doing tests before a frozen transfer. I am devastated as I cannot find a logic to this. Background I am preparing for a FET cycle but my hormons all of a sudden messed up besides my thin lining

PSA raise
Hello once again. My father completed 6 courses of docetaxel chemotherapy (last one on 23/05/2023) and he is getting Zoladex injections every 3 months. Last PSA result was 0.89 (14/07/2023). But as he was getting better and the effects of chemotherapy (mainly neuropathy) were subsiding, the PSA test

Low Estradiol and low Iron - is it Thyroid?

Milk thistle: it gives me headache (figuratively)
Hi warriors! Since I am doing chemo and chemo impacts on the liver (not only of course), I thought it would be a good idea to help my liver with Milk thistle extract (silymarin), once per day 240mg. I had two chemo sessions and luckily between the two sessions both my white cells count and liver functionalities

DHEA test - any particular day ?
AMH and fsh are best tested on day 2-3 of your cycle. I am planning to get my dhea tested - is there any particular day this should happen ? I would like to start taking before I look at my next options. My testosterone is 0.7 which is at the lower range so should be fine: is there any point in

Undetectable!!
Well, that pesky lymph node is now no longer PSMA detectable. After 1 year of Lupron, and Zytiga. So, now Im looking at 2 more years of Lupron (FML), and 1 more year of Zytiga. MO and RO both said to follow STAMPEDE trial. I want to follow SSPORT trial!! Odd thing, my Testosterone yesterday was 4
