Foods/Supplements-Vitamins: Curcumin
This is a daunting subject - 272 hits on PubMed for <prostate curcumin>. Only 92 for <prostate[title] curcumin[title]>, so I will confine this post to them. Curcumin (Diferuloylmethane) is the main active component of turmeric (from the rhizome of curcuma longa), a root "spice" used in many Indian dishes

Hot Flashes
Been on intermittent lupron + casodex since 2011. Have hot flashes every 45 minutes, even when off treatment. Have found nothing that works. Am thinking of estrodil patch. Anyone have any experience with this? Joe

Bicalutamide (Casodex) plus Dutasteride (Avodart)
New Dutch study 1] below. The rationale behind the combination of Casodex & Avodart was articulated in a 2009 paper [2]: "Bicalutamide blocks androgen action in men with prostate cancer but has low affinity for the androgen receptor compared to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Dutasteride, a dual 5-reductase

Foods/Supplements-Vitamins: Apigenin
A PCa study involving apigenin has been appearing roughly every 2 months this past 18 years. A bit frustrating, since while apigenin is found in many plants (celery, parsley & chamomile flowers are good sources), no-one saw fit to create a product until a few years ago. The only one I'm aware of is

My New Normal
Its crazy how fast life can change. I'm 46 years old and before February of this year always considered myself a normal healthy man. I have always been in good shape and was completely blind sided when I was presented with my diagnosis. I first noticed my symptoms when urinating and bladder not completely

Strontium to preserve bone integrity
I am looking for information on strontium, which is an inexpensive supplement. For me now, it is preventative as I only have a tiny met spot. My PCa aggressive but low volume disease. Post radiation 3 years and currently starting Xtandi, PSA rising 26. My life pleasure is now limited to playing

Casodex and ADT
Hi all, It seems to me that most newer treatments in pill form, come along with Prednisone. I understand this is for the side effects from said treatment. Where does Casodex fit in? I've been on Lupron for six years, and had one ninety day course of Casodex during this time. And this was recent. I'm

mTOR
Gecrellin mentioned Sirolimus [Rapamune, aka Rapamycin] in his recent post; it is an mTOR inhibitor. Rapamycin was in the news today, because of a dog study [1]. Just why this anti-aging study made the front page of the NY Times is a mystery, since there is coverage elsewhere going back to 2014. Anyway

Dr. Myers "Aging With Prostate Cancer"
Latest vblog post by Dr. Myers. A couple of interesting points to me: a) the concept of drug clearance & dose adjustments. Myers is speaking in the context of clearance mechanisms becoming less efficient with age. Levels of a drug in the circulation can be much higher than intended. Side effects

23 years post-diagnosis
Hi, I am new here, and would like to introduce myself. My husband was diagnosed with PC in 1993, when he was 58. He just turned 81. The initial diagnosis was done when his PSA was 12, Gleason 7. He underwent radical prostatectomy. In 2001 his PSA started to go up and reached 4.4. Bone scan did not show

Not so good timing
Well, I WAS going to enter the clinical trial. As I was completing the pre-trial screening, one test required was a echocardiogram. I thought things would be good, except the machine found differently. I mentioned before that I thought Lupron may have changed my EKG, well I do not know what happened
