D, B vits., lipids, A1C (done by MO when 1st saw her in April), Ferritin (as my hematocrit, hemoglobin & RBC count is slowly decreasing

Lupron regimen, what happens if you stop!
What are the consequences of discontinuing a Lupron regimen? Can the body ever restore its previous levels of testosterone?

First PSA jump since dx, how concerned should I be?
My latest lab work resulted in a psa increase from .616 to 1.105 in one months time. Testosterone still <12 All other panels normal less glucose at 111. I’m really hoping that it’s because I went off the diet for 9 days to enjoy a cruise? Was that stupid? I let my MO’s voice “saying eat for pleasure

A case to push for darolutamide.
out of 68 known Variants that escaped treatment darolutamide is effective against all but one. This article is from june 2021. it is a invitro study so it needs vitro study, then insilico AI to further confirm but it is still important. And even shows resistant variants to abiraterone, corticosteroids

L/T vs S/T ADT post SRT & WPLNs?
I just finished SRT & WPLN's and feel much better than I imagined (although going to dentist today about some small persistent sores on my gums that showed up last couple weeks of therapy and are slow to heal) . I've been on ADT for 16 months and last shot will expire in 2 months. PSA has been consistently

Testosterone - How low can it go?
Briefly, diagnosed in April with de novo high volume metastatic PC. Plan was to follow PEACE-1: Lupron, abiraterone & 6 rounds of docetaxel. Had to stop abiraterone first for irreg. heartbeat & then right before starting chemo as bilirubin went way up. Since chemo is hard on the liver, abiraterone is

Cirrhosis/Sprionolactone/testosterone
I know. Bit of an odd one!!! Hi all! I’d just be interested to know if anyone has had any (male) hormone issues surrounding cirrhosis and/or the use of Spironolactone. Or perhaps it’s just me?! About a month before diagnosis, (I couldn’t see them because of my swollen belly), It felt like my testicles

Are men addicted to testosterone?
Men's brains have a lot of androgen receptors, and androgens (mainly testosterone (T) and DHT) affect such brain functions as mood, aggression, competitiveness, libido, motivation, spatial ability, and other attitudes and behaviors. Many psychoactive substances (except hallucinogens) are addictive. The

A good lab/package? - Hormone Lab UK Official Test Provider of ZRT Laboratory

Quality of Life vs. Extending Survival
Please consider the following question that I have been pondering: How would you place a value on a certain number of months or years with restored vitality, virility, strength, both physical and mental, in other words the fullness of life and happiness? And that weighed against the number of months

Cellular and Genetic Clues that Drive BAT effectiveness
A recent post in HU-APC discussed a COMBAT-CRPC interview of Dr. Antonarakis by Prostate Cancer Foundation president, Dr. Charles Ryan. I feel this deserves more attention to highlight their important research findings which can help guide clinical use of BAT and to understanding why it is effective.

Can you Eliminate Bone Mets with Radiation?
Hi, I have 4 bone mets which are quite small (<0.25"). I've asked my Radiation Oncologists about cyber-knife or SABR but they seem hesitant. Has anyone successfully ridded themselves of bone mets this way? I'm currently on Zytiga/Pred/Lupron with essentially zero PSA/Testosterone. Thank you. Steve

PSA Rising after 5 years
My PSA has started to rise after 5 years. It’s at 1.24 ug/L. The last PSA three months ago was 0.27 ug/L. I have been on continuous ADT mono therapy since diagnosis, except for a short ill advised break in 2020. I was originally treated with ADT upfront followed by 6 rounds of Docetaxel and radiation
