BAT question. A little worried about results.
I was on Xtandi as part of a clinical trial at NIH and after 2 years my PSA started climbing and PSMA scan showed metastasis in abdominal lymph nodes and supraclavicular node. Biopsy of the abdominal nodes wasn’t possible but biopsy of the supraclavicular node was inconclusive. However , this knocked

My age is 75 and I am physically fit I am doing 5 or 6 miles walking everyday. Do they ever boost ones testosterone

Who got their T level done before ADT?
I was a month into ADT before I realized that I had no baseline Testosterone number!I know the treatment is all about reducing T, but now that I'm considering vacation possibilities I think it would be helpful to know what my unadjusted level was. I think it would be helpful, but honestly I'm not sure

Which blood tests are required please?
I have a blood test this week prior to an NHS endocrinologist appointment the following week. I spoke with an endocrine nurse at The Pituitary Foundation after a tip off here. She suggested I requested specific bloods, I believe these include:- Full thyroid, blood count, full pituitary function, vitamins

Glucose
I have stage four prostate cancer and have been taking Zytiga, Prednisone, and Lupron for 5 and 1/2 years. My PSA is 0.049 and my testosterone is -7. Have any of you had an increase in your glucose level? In my last four blood tests, my glucose has gone from 115 to a little over 200. Could Prednisone

Adrenal and related Test Results help please
I had the full bells and whistles blood screen by an NHS endo last year. I was sent a letter telling me I’m ‘healthy’ but I sure don’t feel that way. Some of the test results are below and I’d welcome any feedback. I’m 60 years old and post menopausal, I was medication free when the tests were done.

NUBEQA (darolutimide) as MONOTHERAPY (no lupron or similar)?
I’ve seen two posts today in a couple of threads stating that they’re currently on NUBEQA, or will soon be as a monotherapy without first line ADT like casodex or Lupron. One gent says after 7 months he’s got testosterone levels of 700 with undetectable PSA and no progression on scans. Another says

Estrogen cream can work to PCa?
My M testosterone's level is average of common man but M testosterone is a just the food to the PCa. I think because of M testosterone, the PSA levels are not decrease but increase. So if we apply the Estrogen cream on the parts of body, the testosterone level may go down? Am awaiting the answer

Zytiga failed, Xtandi next
2/21/23 blood test shows PSA went up from 0.253 to 0.309 Testosterone unchanged at 45 since 1/23/23 test. B12 260. MO ordered 2500mcg B12 which I read helps bone health, energy and red blood cells. Pylarify PET scan shows numerous stable non tracer avid sclerotic osseous lesions on the CT portion of

Testosterone level while on ADT plus Xtandi
I've been on ADT (Prostap) since last July and Xtandi since October and my T has remained hovering around 30 ng/dL. Although this is technically castrate level (<50), I've seen several other posts of guys on various hormone therapies with much lower T. Is it normal/typical for T to stay at 30 when on

Vertebral Fractures [VF]
One would expect bone issues with ADT, since near-zero
testosterone
equates to near-zero
estradiol
. When estradiol goes below 12 pg/mL (my limit, based on old non-PCa studies), bone loss can be rapid.

Can menopause trigger hypothyroidism?
When I turned 50 (few years ago now) over a few months my health changed, I developed weakness, brain fog, insomnia, heat intolerance, poor appetite, joint aches, atrophy etc etc. I even stopped exercising when I had been reasonably fit before. GP sent off some bloods and called me within days to start
