.008 PSA Bicalutimide Monotherapy
Thanks to Tall Allen I have read some solid studies that say combining treatments is best for overall survival, for personal reasons I am on 150 Bicalutimide monotherapy, these reasons were a severe loss of strength which I thought maybe it was because of previous hormone therapy, in reality it was

What is the role of androgen deprivation and prostate cancer treatment?
QUESTIONS: Does ADT need to reduce both T and DHT to be effective? Can you get the same benefit from using medication to block 5 alpha reductase the enzyme that converts T to DHT? How long is ADT required? Does ADT increase sensitivity to RT treatment? As PSA levels are dependent on testosterone or

Aromatase Inhibitors and PCa
Interesting publication from 2001 that concluded the is no benefit to using aromatase inhibitors (AIs) in the context of PCa. Note that Dr. Charles "Snuffy" Myers is one of the co-authors. I was under the impression he was one of the docs recommending AIs to control Estardiol (E2). Perhaps I'm wrong

Man boobs
Summertime is here. What are you doing to control/reduce man boobs. I understand it is primarily due to ADT/low testosterone. Should I also have my estrogen levels checked?

Lupron, aricept, estradiol?
Are folks combining an acetylcholinesterase with ADT (Lupron)? Is this being combined with transdermal or cream estradiol?

3 month follow up PSA test
I went for my 3 month follow up PSA test after HDR Brachtherapy (monotherapy) which also tested for Testosterone. PSA came back at 0.5 which was very encouraging. My question is should my 6 month follow up test include any of the following or other tests as well? DHT, Prolactin, E2 peace!

Probiotics
Morning all. Hope everyone is managing well in these strange times. I've been reading through some posts & have noticed mention of Probiotics a few times. As some of you will know I was addicted to high doses of Prescribed Opioids for 8 years which I'm still convinced caused my PA. Amongst other things

Testosterone Therapy Does Not Increase the Risks of Prostate Cancer Recurrence or Death After Definitive Treatment for Localized Disease
In the largest observational study so far, Sarkar et al. reported that men in the US Veterans Administration (VA) database who received surgery or radiation for localized prostate cancer and then received testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for low testosterone were at no greater risk for recurrence

Do you think this means I have cirrhosis?
Hi, so I managed to persuade the nurse at my surgery to give me an estrogen blood test on top of a full LFT and a full blood count test. I wanted the estrogen test cos I had a breakout of broken capillaries on my face among other high estrogen symptoms. The nurse ticked the wrong box and the test was

Ovaleap just before FET ?
Hello ladies, I am starting my second transfer after my failed 1st frozen embryo transfer. During my first transfer I was given estradiol to increase my endometrial thickness which worked great and I had my endometrial thickness of 11mm during my first FET. Since my 1st FET failed due to unknown reasons

How many of you are using tE2 as your only form of ADT?
Since we have over 10,000 men on this forum and just a few of you reply to transdermal estradiol posts, I really am curious as to how many are using this 'novel' (for lack of a better word) form of ADT exclusively? I for one and a few comrades that I have befriended here are having 'damn' good luck with

Has anyone experience of Ospemifene
Hi I am interested to hear of anyones experience of taking the oral tablet Ospemifene and does it help with atrophy. Is it available in the UK? I am unable to use vagifem and estriol; the discharge burns and causes so much discomfort. I am due to see a pelvic floor dermatologist in a couple of days

COVID-19
Anyone seen any research on having COVID-19 and hormone levels? I have seen reports on male hormones being affected but not female or thyroid yet. I feel I have more female hormones but that might be because of reduced testosterone, All my tests are well overdue, no idea when GP's will open up.

Why am I always cold?
Why am I always cold? I have recently finished 6 Docetaxel infusions and have been on Casodex and 3 monthly Eligard shots since January. Before my APC diagnosis, my internal thermostat always ran hot, but now I seems to always be cold. My wife would be rugged up with multiple layers and I would be

PSA numbers on QoL Vacation (copy)
Hi Guys and Gals I’m ashamed to admit that I can’t make sense of some of the simpler questions regarding my cancer anymore..... this time the numbers! I used to be able to speak intelligently about what I learned here, but with my continued mental deterioration, I would need hours and hours to re-research
