osteoporosis
I was told I had osteopenia whist workng as nurse in the xray department ( a dexa scan machine was new so all females were able to have a scan to give experience to the radiographers who had been trained in osteoporosis and scanning, I must admit I did have several scans under this 'scheme' and eventually

FDA alert re: denosumab
This was issued specifically re: Prolia, with no mention of Xgeva. However patients should be alerted, and of course don't change your medications without first speaking to your doctor about this. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-adds-boxed-warning-increased-risk-severe-hypocalcemia-patients-advanced-chronic-kidney-disease

Right phrenic nerve paralysis
Path from RP showed extensive perineural involvement. No other risk factors for phrenic nerve paralysis. Haven't talked to MO yet, but sure concerned it's tumor invasion. PSA still <0.04.

Teriparatide - what to do next?
I’ve recently finished 2 years of Teriparatide injections. Endocrinologist wants me to take Alendronic acid tablets but I’m not keen. Teriparatide is the first treatment I’ve had and osteoporosis classed as severe. One fracture of L2 few years back. I wondered what protocol other people have tried after

Orgovyx + Abiaterone?
I have very high risk prostate cancer (Gleason 9, negative PSMA for spread, MRI suggests possible spread to seminal vessel, PSA in 7s before treatment). Due to cardiac history (stroke and heart attack) MO is being cautious and has started dosing Eligard at 1 Month intervals to make sure I am doing ok

Luteolin, ellagic acid and punicic acid and prostate cancer metastasis
Ok here we go again, excuse me if this was already gone over. I know Pomegranate has stated benefits, but in combo with these other supps may increase the benefits according to this study done on patients and our favored friends, the mice- lol. For me if it can't harm and may help then why not.

pain from fractures or pmr joining the party?
have been trying to judge whether pain and weakness in upper arms is a knock on from the fractured vertebrae (t9 and L3) or is it pmr creeping in. Very reluctant to up pred but don’t want to get into PmrPro’s bucket syndrome either! So, help! Would 3 days at higher dose be long enough to test that and

BC pharmacare not paying for romosozumab
I have 6
fractures
of the spine the last few months and treating lymphoma also. I've been told by pharmacy that I would have to pay full price $666 per month till my $2,000 deductible is filled and then pharma care does not cover it anyways.

Does bone loss (osteoporosis) show up on an MRI?
This might seem like a strange question but I've been curious about this for a while. Several years ago, I told my doctor that I had (still have) a weird burning sensation in the center of my back, in my thoracic spine. She she said she was going to order an MRI of my entire spine. In November 2017,

Thyroid meds with calcium?
I've been alternating them on different days but I'm afraid I'll end up with
fractures
. I don't know if there's an answer to this, but would appreciate any input.

Bicalutamide and Eligard
PSA went up to 0.87. Doctor recommend Eligard (Lupron) with bicalutimide and dutasteride. No choice. I went thru thus on Jan 10, 2024. Hospital said I have to run thru Eligard for 24 months on a quarterly basis. Every 3 month. Doctor Said Eligard works only for 2 years, and I have to find another

How soon after taking 4 month eligard shot can you switch to firmagon?
I started my hormone treatment with firmagon + apalutamide beginning 2023. The treatment worked fantastic and all my pain faded away and my psa dropped from 350 to .09 over 11 months. My life was as near normal as can be expected with cancer. Almost immediately my MO was recomending to switch to 4

Subchondral Insufficiency fracture

Any Data or MO Advice Regarding Dutasteride / Finasteride At Very Early Biochemical Recurrence?
Does anyone know of any studies or MO advice they've gotten regarding use of Dutasteride or Finasteride at very early signs of Biochemical Reccurrence (uPSA in the 0.03 - 0.1 range) prior to Salvage Radiotherapy? It's obviously going to slow PSA doubling time and thereby probably lengthen the time

Kyphosis
Does anyone else find that this is one of the worst features of vertebral
fractures
from OP? I do think it must add to further strain on other parts of the back etc. why I can't stand /walk for more than a few minutes at a time.? Muscle relaxants make no difference . Exercise makes pain worse.
