Some good news for a change!
I feel kinda funny about sharing as with the advanced staging of PCa there's so much bad news, I thought I would share some good... Now being around one year ago which began the discovery of Stage IV progression, the finding of mets inadvertently during an attempted Appendectomy, subsequent second successful

"feeling fat over 40?"
Interesting article in Times 2 today (I only have hard copy; the soft copy is behind a paywall, sadly) with the above headline. US doctor Sara Gottfried is suggesting that for many of us women, the issue may be low testosterone. She argues that "traditional" dieting often doesn't work for women in the

Estradiol Side Effects
I’ve been extremely tired and nauseous lately. I believe these side effects are normal. Has anyone else experienced this? I do FET on the 27th by the way. I’m so nervous and excited!!

My Oligometastatic Journey Continues…
Hello friends, Thought I’d update you on my journey, with all its twists and turns. Let me remind you where I’ve been and what’s in store now… In the spring of 2015, at the age of 53, I was playing golf and hurt my back. Thought it was a pulled muscle. After a couple of months, with my back getting worse

Feeling really down, low AMH 1.3 - just about to start 2nd round
Hey, So I’m just about to start my second full cycle of IVF and my AMH results are in at 1.3 which is way lower than I was expecting. I’m 35 😞 Last round I was on 225 menopur and managed to get 10 eggs, (4 blasts) sadly none worked. This time the consultant is upping my stims to 450 (I think he said

KEEP RUNNING, KEEP SMILING
Today’s run was a joyous affirmation of the sensory delights of being alive and experiencing at first hand the richness of the Devon landscape, that I am lucky enough to live in. After an overnight torrent of rainfall, I opted for a largely lane based route to avoid the inevitable sticky mud that evolves

SBRT to surgical bed and WPRT (Excalibur Trial) vs IMRT
My long journey deciding on a treatment for BCR to surgical bed as noted on PSMA PET/CT and MRI 3/2021 with no metastasis noted has lead me to the decision for SRT, either SBRT or IMRT. I've been on Eligard since 3/2021 and PSA 0.1< and testosterone 21ng. I have consulted Mayo AZ (surgical bed only

Is my Testosterone high?
Have been on ADT for 25 months. (Lupron 6 mon shots, Abiraterone, & prednisone) Was switched to Eligard on Monday. Bloodwork Monday showed PSA undetectable and testosterone at 51 ng/dL. Is the testosterone high for being on ADT??

On Treatment-Emergent PC Cellular Senescence: A Catch-22
Tall_Allen's great post updating PEACE1 results brought attention to the problem of treatment emergent cellular senescence in cancer: That chemotherapy and ADT may induce PC cell populations into the non-dividing yet still-alive senescent state. This may appear as early favorable response to treatment

Boob Pic!
After 40 months of successful ADT using transdermal estradiol gel (tE2) my ONLY side effect is a bit of gynecomastia. I took this pic today and I'm not embarrassed to wear pullover shirts.

Testosterone Cycling (BAT) provides enhancement of body composition and QOL
Introducing testosterone replacement or therapy for advanced PC patients is a tricky and risky undertaking. This has been much discussed in this forum. Perhaps it has a place for some specific men with mCRPC who become unresponsive to other treatments and are willing to risk accelerating their cancer
