Anastrozole with BAT question
As I experiment with BAT (to the horror of some), one of my doctors has strongly told me to limit Anastrozole to 0.5 mg once every two months or, at most, 0.5 mg at the time of injection and 0.5 mg one week later, saying “anastrozole only stops the conversion to estradiol. 2-OHE1 and 16a-OHE1 are

Update on Daddy-O
I want to thank everyone who gave me advice and encouragement regarding my dad's increasing PSA (which was compounded by possible complications from his brain cancer and heart issues). We went to the oncologist and he determined that he wanted to wait a bit longer before acting due to the fact that

Why does BAT work in so few?
Bipolar Androgen Therapy (BAT), which entails cycling between androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and very high doses of testosterone (T) has had disappointing results. No one really understood why only 20-30% of castration-resistant (CRPC) men derived any benefit and why even that was usually short-lived

What to do about Adderall Toxicity, i.e. it messes with your endocrine system. Withdrawal, long term side effects.
Anyone else have to deal with Adderall Toxicity? Adderall messing with your endocrine system? Not overdosing or to that extreme. But long term use where your body is dependent on the medication and there are long term side effects. i.e. if you crash and out if you stop taking adderall, or have found

starting intermittent hormonal therapy
My MO started me on intermittent hormonal therapy yesterday. He had suggested this several visits ago. I started Lupron August of 2020 when my PSA was 7.14. Since I started ADT my PSA and Testosterone have been nil. I have a script for PSA & Testosterone blood tests in 90 days. He told me When PSA rises

How fast does ELIGARD drop PSA? My urinary symptoms are worsening despite the injection, TURP and Testosterone under 20.
My PSA was 9.75 (07/28/2022) and testosterone 43 (08/17/2022) when I got my first ELIGARD 45mg dose on 08/18/2022. I'd been in a full time Foley catheter for two weeks at that blood On 09/06/2022 PSA had dropped to 3.95 (18 days) and Testosterone to 17. On 09/23 it had only dropped to 3.80 (5 weeks

HRT newbie help! NHS appointment, finally!
I needed a post of my own after "130396"s post today about Utrogestan and Estradot. It's taken almost 7 months but my NHS phone appointment is finally around the corner now, next Thursday. GP was reluctant to prescribe HRT herself. My periods first stopped in September 2020, then made a reappearance

Male - low testosterone
Hey, I have a question around male fertility. My husband has just received blood results with low Testosterone rating. Does anyone know if this can affect male fertility / sperm count etc ? He will be speaking to GP about this, but the tests he done were private ones which you can buy on line ( kinda

Medichecks Result and a warning about testing & HRT
Apologies for the long post (my first) and thank you if you manage to get to the end of it. Bit of history first (there's more in my bio), after 7 years of being bedbound with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, I was finally prescribed combination T3/T4 in 2018. I hadn't had my bloods checked since 2019

Post surgery symptoms are bad again
just over a week ago I had laparoscopic surgery for a hernia, now my legs and arms are back to stinging and burning worse than before the op and starting B12. Things had been settling down , after nearly 5 months. I’ve kept up my B12 injections every other day. I’ve also just started seeing a neurologist

actual castration instead of ADT
I’m just throwing this out for discussion. I’m 62 in good over shape and recently started Lupron and Zytiga. I am told I will be on these or some form of ADT for the rest of my life. Since the goal is to eliminate testosterone wouldn’t it make sense to remove the source of it? By doing so one could

24 Months of Eligard Comes to an End
I’ve been having Eligard injections every six months for the last two years. In October my Oncologist wants to stop the treatment. My last two blood tests over a 12 month period showed my PSA at <0.1 and my Testosterone at 0.4. My blood test last week again showed a PSA reading of <0.1 and Testosterone

next step more Lupron?
I just finished 38 rounds of radiation to the pelvic bed and abdominal lymph nodes. My last Lupron shot will be out of my system in December, and I am taking Xtandi. My last PSA was 0, and testosterone was 7. Side effects include extreme fatigue and sciatica pain. I am scheduled to see my urologist
