What do you make of this?
Three and 1/2 years ago, my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer with numerous bone mets from his hip up to his skull. He was put on Lupron right away, and his PSA has never gone over <.02. (He also had Chemo & Radiation). My understanding is that Lupron supresses testosterone

Infertility and Grief - Double Whammy
Hey everyone. I’ve been struggling lately. In the beginning the stims were okay. It was a new experience and I was seeing the results. It was pretty exciting really. Now that it’s time for my FET (on Thursday), I’m getting really anxious. I started estradiol and found that made me moody and a little

High intratumoral dihydrotestosterone is associated with antiandrogen resistance in VCaP prostate cancer xenografts in castrated mice
A new Finnish-Swedish paper (with no mention of NATO) [1] Dr. Myers has said that the purpose of ADT is to deny PCa access to dihydrotestosterone [DHT]. A minority of men produce DHT via the alternative pathway that does not involve testosterone [T]. Myers was one of the few doctors who checked DHT

Hormone Levels
Hi all! I've found so many helpful folks on HealthUnlocked concerning an autoimmune disorder I have and I'm hoping this group can help me with some current issues I think are related to hormones. Background: I had c*vid back in April 2020 and it triggered horrible periods which lead to an iron deficiency

My life has gotten much more complicated since Abiraterone suddenly quit working about 6 months ago
I just had the 4th of 6 Xofigo (Radium-223) injections last Wednesday. I feel like the pain from bone metastases is improving. I have also undergone 15 External Beam Radiation Therapy EBRT treatments during the same period. I had quite a bit of burn issues involving skin in and around the rectum, etc

Why I Choose an Unproven Treatment
It is a rainy stormy day in Perth, Western Australia, called the "most remote city in the world". I arrived here yesterday with more than 30 hours of travel from Oregon USA. Tomorrow I will get my first infusion of Lutetium 177-PSMA (mAb)-J591. An experimental and unproven new form of radioactive ligand

Has anyone had HRT implants? Would love to know your experience and where you’ve had them done please
Hi ladies, I’m wanting to have Oestrogen and Testosterone implants as I don’t absorb transdermal HRT. It’s my only option left as I have dreadful menopause symptoms since my hysterectomy. As far as I know they’re not available on the NHS so I’m wondering if anyone can recommend a private clinic/hospital

Estradiol…….
Hi Gosh I see this group is growing . I had an ultra sound done on my kidneys yesterday. As she was doing this (due to unexplained kidney pain) she said “endometriosis doesn’t show up with this “. I actually knew that but I still wanted the test. Maybe it’s not endometriosis. I’ll know in a couple

DHEA and Pregnenolone

His blood test did show these to be low. Also, in this blood test it showed the hormon estrogen to be low. I am not sure I want
