Emergency admission for partially ruptured endometrioma
I was rushed into hospital with awful pelvic pain , infection markers,inflammation and signs of sepsis last week. After, many days of hum-ha-ing, an emergency laparoscopy found a fist sized, partially ruptured endometrioma. The ovary had fused to my bowel and pelvis and so it could not be removed. It

serotonin
Hi I’m looking for an answer really as I’m confused 😕. So I am currently peri menopause and have been on Sertraline for a number of years with fluctuating dosages depending on how I am feeling. This increases serotonin which helps my depression and anxiety. But if my estrogen is low will they still

rising PSA and 'light' advancement of mets in hip bones. Diagnosed stage 4 in March 2021.
Greetings! My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in March 2021. ADT dropped the PSA quite a bit. We started seeing Dr. George at Duke March of 2023 and he had my husband on a round of docetaxel. After that the many bone mets and some on lungs 'disappeared'. Now it looks like they

estradiol cream
I know this was discussed 8 years ago but has it changed for the better regarding reducing the ADT SE? I am on ADT for 2 + years and going on Xtandti this month. I want to control the SE as best I can. Great diet and heavy exercise every day. Also stopped the Vit Cal & D.

Eliminating ADT.
Is there ANY PC Therapy that does not use ADT ? I have been on ADT implants for over 2 years and will start Xtandi due to increased PSA's. I would love to stop ADT due to SE.

My primary care physician prescribed Metformin, which seemed to reduce or maintain these levels. I have been taking Orgovyx since 9/23 and expect to complete the regimine in early

Experiencing possible neuropathy in my trunk
I had had 10 rounds of radiation to treat two spinal bone mets back in March. I am on Lupron (first shot was in March) and abiraterone and prednisone daily. PSA has plummeted and doing good.

Following SOC here in BC Canada
I am currently at the CRPC stage of my disease. About 7 years since diagnosis. Started with ADT and Docetaxel. Was able to be castrate sensitive for 4.5 years. Tried to add Abiraterone and it failed after a couple of months. Had Radium 223 and it was okay but did nothing to the PSA. Cancer kept progressing

Should I insist on Whole Pelvic Radiation Therapy (WPRT)?
Given my condition (see profile), should I ask for Whole Pelvic Radiation Therapy (WPRT)? Multiple doctors have said I don't need WPRT due to my low Decipher score, although it would give me better peace of mind. However, I am concerned about the additional side effects. Here are my questions, and I

Erectile dysfunction meds and side effects
My husband is getting brachytherapy in September and then IG IMRT in October. He is currently on Orgovyx for month two and will be adding zytega next month. Good news is that his PSA has gone to 2 and Testosterone to 9 after a month on Firmagon so meds seem to be doing what are supposed to. Drs have
