Lupron vs Orchiectomy
I am curious if anyone has had Lupron injections for a while and has been able to maintain leg muscle or at least strength. I have been exercising regularly with walking and weight lifting to try and minimize muscle loss and loss of bone strength. What ever I do I seem unable to prevent the loss of strength

Lupron vs Orchiectomy
I am curious if anyone has had Lupron injections for some time and has experienced severe muscle loss in the legs? I exercise regularly with walking and lifting weights to help prevent muscle and bone weakening. Whatever I do I can not seem to be able to keep the strength in my legs. I was diagnosed

Circulating oestrogen receptor mutations and splice variants in advanced prostate cancer.
Newish study below [1]. (Probably only of interest to those already familiar with the PCa estrogen issue.) When I was examining the PCa literature by hormone in 2004, I was intrigued by the newly discovered estrogen receptor ERβ. There wasn't much to go on, but it seemed that "classic" ER, renamed ERα

Early Hypo/Hashi's Complicated By Adrenal/Low Cortisol
Greetings everyone: Finally got fed up with my family doctor who knows nothing and went two routes - endocrinologist (my doctor reluctantly gave a referral) and naturopath. Symptoms I have just about every symptom of hypothyroidism I have ever read and I am confirmed Hashi's by antibodies and ultrasound

What's my next option?
Had my lap in January this year where they removed some tissue and inserted a mirena coil. Was in absolute hell for the next few months as i was told "i'd have to wait 3 - 6 months" to be seen again. I waited 8 months. Put on Decapeptyl SR injections (i'm terrified of needles by the way, so i've been

He told me yo stop for about 2 weeks..if it improves it's the aromasin. He might switch me to tamoxifen. I'm 4 years out.. Has anyone else

Coming off the pill with stage 4 endometriosis
Hey everyone, looking for a bit of advice. I’ve been taking a combination pill of some kind for over 10 years, for the last 3 years or so Yasmin. Not consistent benefit from it to be honest and my endo grew at its most aggressive rate whilst taking it actually. I had all my endo except on my diaphragm

2 Tapers or NOT 2 Tapers......
Hi again everyone - hope you can help. Forgot to mention yesterday whilst visiting my GP she informed me of the latest findings re taking HRT - the risk factors have increased. I had a total hysterectomy 20 years ago and take 1mg of Oestrogen daily since which I am happy to do. However she has now advised

Menopause HRT on levothyroxine ? Can anyone share experiences and contra indications ?
Is anyone on here on HRT along with taking Levothyroxine ? I’ve just read an article about oestrogen and how supplementing with it via HRT can cause more harm than good. If you have Hashimotos apparently our liver can’t get rid of oestrogen so it is secreted into our skin and organs and can cause damage

IVF and diabetes
So I don't know if this will help anyone here, but having been through a few IVF rounds with a few different clinics I thought I'd share what I learned. 1. IVF doctors know pretty much NOTHING about diabetes. Your GP can tell you that your blood sugar levels are perfect but unless they're in normal (

Endocrinology
Hi everyone, after a 6 month wait, I finally got my appointment for endocrinology. Saw a nurse practitioner not a doctor. Not that I’m not complaining about that (I’m a nurse myself) My GP increased my levothyoxine 6 months ago from 75mcg to 100mcg (was on 75 for 20 years) at my insistence due to symptoms

A Little Help Please...
Hi folks, I hope you can help. I was finally diagnosed with severe endometriosis last Thursday, following a laparoscopy. Also had to have 1 ovary removed and had ablation of the womb lining as consultant originally thought that would resolve the heavy painful periods. I didn’t think I was doing too

Medical Oncologist in Southern New England
In an unrelated post recently, I learned of my aPC ignorance or naivety in not having a Medical Oncologist oversee my treatment. I’m post ERT and completed my original 18mo ADT and am currently being monitored by both my Uro and RO. I don’t see surgery or radiation in my foreseeable future prompting

Are estrogen patches safe?
I would like to try it estrogen patches for a period of 3 months and see how my psa does. I have a few questions please on this subject : 1) is it safe? 2) does it give a false reading in terms of slowing the psa but the cancer itself is growing? 3) why Medical Oncologists DONT like to prescribe it?

Using estrogen and progesterone cyclically or continuously...interested in other people's experiences!
She told me to use
Estrogel
(two pumps daily) and Utrogestan 100 mg continuously. Since making that change, I have the feeling things have been going in the wrong direction - weight gain, bloating, increased sugar cravings, feeling more depressed and moody.
