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
I was thinking to potentially get routine thyroid checks, Cortisol and DHEA, and also female hormones. Below is the type of results I might get in a lab package that, as it happens, tests all of these - but not vitamins or ferratin. £379.00 for Female Hormone Test Kit Profile II £349.00 Female Hormone

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

Meaning of SHBG
After visiting my oncologist yesterday for my 3 monthly checkup, my Testosterone level was shown to be <0.5 L and my SHBG was 48.

On Lupron/Zytiga/Prednisone for nearly 1 YR - Stage 4 w/Bone Met
I was diagnosed with Stage 4 (Gleason 8-9) last August and was immediately put on Lupron, then Zytig/Pred after 3 months. PSA was only 1.2 but actually more like 2.4 since I was on Finestride. Testosterone was 650. Now after 1 year, I'm at 0.02 PSA and <5 Testosterone, both immeasurable. Prior PET

When to stop Estradiol patches
When did you stop your estradiol patches in the run up to stimulation? Was it as soon as your period arrived (ie first spots of blood) or only when it hit full flow? Thanks so much!
