3 Months post ADT (Orgovyx) Still having hot flashes and fatigue-doing blood test in two weeks..for hopefully nadir..
Stopped taking Orgovyx May 30th .... August 30th will be my 90 day blood test I presume to see if my Testosterone is BACK TO NORMAL (I hope) and my PSA is less than .o2 ?? I understand that the Testosterone back to NORMAL is more possible in the short term (90 days) than longer term use of adt? Is

HRT and autoimmune thyroiditis
Am about to be prescribed transdermal oestrogen and progesterone tablets. I am 56 y with much crabbines and fatigue. Have also just discovered that I may have Hashimotot's (see my post). How will HRT affect things? Do I not go ahead with it? Thanks.

After ADT
Dear fellows, see my post "Adjuvant ADT". My question there was what to expect after completion of 24 months of ADT (22 june 2023). Now we are six weeks later and first results are in. PSA remained <0.1, whereas my T. rose from <0.4 to 0.9. Coming thursday I am seeing my oncologist/radiotherapist. Is

Uric Acid [UA] & PCa Mortality
I once had a gouty foot. It was self-induced - I was having a brief but intense craving for high-purine foods, particularly anchovies. (Perhaps PCa was driving the craving - lol.) At some point I looked at the PCa / Uric Acid [UA] literature (more than I expected), but it was mixed & failed to impress

Update on my daddy- 8 years stage four
Hello guys! I wanted to give a little update on my dad. He was diagnosed stage four prostate cancer in June 2015, with a PSA of 257 and a single lymph node involved. His prostate was so enlarged at the time that he had to have double nephrostomy bags. He started hormone therapy and chemo immediately

Latest test results
Hi, Slow Dragon kindly suggested I submit my latest test results , given that I continue with episodic fatigue. ( also heat/sweats). I’ve had a number of blood tests over the past 6 months all apparently normal but of course only TSH tested in respect of my diagnosis of hypothyroidism, prescribed currently

IBRT/SBRT Radiation and ADT
I have heard so many horrifying things here about adverse reactions to those who were prescribed ADT in conjunction with or shortly after radiation treatment. Has anyone forgone taking ADT therapy or does that ruin any progress made from radiation? I have read there is no evidence ADT actually improves

Heart-healthy foods.
New study [1]. It's well-known that men with PCa have a higher risk for cardiovascular disease. Even before ADT. Mark Moyad coined the phrase "heart-healthy is prostate healthy" and I think he is correct. The American "food pyramid" is a disaster imo, with grains at the bottom & fats at the

SHBG test through Medichecks?
I'm set with an appointment with a menopause clinic in a couple of weeks for an HRT consult and noticed that their charges for some of the tests were quite a bit higher than Medichecks, and they are running a 20% off sale that ends tonight. I've had my thyroid tests done with them already, so I believe

Treatment after Zoladex/Prostrap
I’m due to go back to the consultant next week and I’m just wondering what your experiences were a) coming off Zoladex/prostrap and b) what treatment options are next. For context I have been on the injections for 11 months now, and HRT for the past 5 months. I know everyone’s experiences have been different

intensive group therapy as outpatient
Any care to share if it was a positive or negative experience? I start Friday. It is victual for 3 hours , 3 days a week, up to 18 in the group. Never done it before. Feeling skeptical, frightened, and want to get something out of it.

1st post-IMRT PSA = 2.1
I completed IMRT on 5/22/23. My last recorded PSA from 1/23 was 4.31. My 1st PSA draw on 8/22/23 came back 2.12. I've read and have been told that PSA doesn't go down immediately with radiation, unlike surgery, and can take up to 2 years to hit its nadir. The RO NP was happy and pretty much said that

Ozempic-Anti Cancer?
I'm 10-15 pounds above ideal weight, not on any form of ADT. Since cancer feeds on sugar, does it make sense to use Ozempic to reduce blood sugar to presumably starve the cancer?

GnRH analogues
Hi all, I am due to be starting injectable GnRH analogues soon alongside a HRT, dose anyone have any advice/ guidance on them and their side effects and management? In the past I have had Nafarelin (Synarel). The plan is to have these before surgery as NHS wait is 50 weeks where I am. Thanks

Intraductal Carcinoma & Cribiform pattern 4 treatment options?
Newly dx. PCa. with Intraductal carcinoma, IDC-P. This is the most aggressive prostate cancer type. In my case 4+3 with 70% pattern 4 with cribriform which make it even more worse. There are four types of pattern 4 (poorly formed glands, glomeruloid structures, cribriform glands, and fused glands) and

Compression fracture on T 10
My recent Whole body scan and CT scan for PCa ( diagnosed in 2016 with T3N0M1, after which I had radiation,chemotherapy and have been on hormone therapy since), showed a compression fracture on my T10 where I had SBRT radiation 2 years ago. My scans earlier in the year also showed a small fracture

ED no more
My case is unusual in as much as I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer four years ago. A bone scan identified many areas where I had bone mets, even one between my shoulder blades on my spine that looked like structural surgery was inevitable. My PSA topped 1000 and I had zero treatments of any

Can people with hypothyroidism suffer with sweats and heat intolerance?
Before I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and put on medication, I suffered with dreadful sweating for years; eating hot food or drinks would being it on as would housework and sitting in a stuffy office environment. This would be the type that would soak on hair and clothing. For a long time I thought

More on statins
I've actually been tolerating ADT quite well over the past year but beginning in January I started feeling tightness in chest, low endurance, out of breath, heavy fatigue, attributing all to Xtandi...Then in May I fainted after getting up from the couch so the old lady took me to the ER...I had an emergency
