Experiences with

Ginger extract

I live in a relatively small town. I saw an orthopedic surgeon that recommends full ankle replacement related to arthritis and full cartilage disintegration. This doctor has only done 12 of this type of operation. I understand Podiatrist also do this type of surgery. It is very hard to know how each

I am currently taking 3ml of Ivermectin weekly, and have just added 3ml of Fenbendazole. Both have had some promising results in affecting various cancers in actual research trials. I have recurrent PC after a radical prostatectomy in 2017. Took Zoladex for 9 months. PSA went from .6 to .04. Been on

Tomorrow I am scheduled to get my 18th injection of Degarelix. Despite the monthly frequency, I’m much happier with the SE’s from Degarelix than from Lupron or Eligard. A few months back I pointed out the ironic brand name Firmagon to my nurses, and now they have to joke about the name at every implant

I see a medical oncologist shortly. Plan as it's set is 3-4 months of Orgovyx +Zytiga, hoping to shrink my oversize prostae (~71cc). I'll start IMRT in January or February, do (I think) 25 sessions + some for irradiation of the pelvis. Then I'll have brachytherapy, and will stay on the ART for 1 or

Well, I have not searched about this for long, but while I wait to see if estrogen patches will be approved in europe for metastatic cancer, I am having doubts about switching from triptorelin (which did and is still doing its job) to relugolix. I know my MO first instinct will be saying "if it's working

The urologist started with first injection of Firmagon with Nubeqa and before the end of 28 days wants to switch from Firmagon to Lupron with Nubeqa. I was under impression that Firmagon is better at getting the job done than Lupron? Why switch?

Hi - started at 20 after diagnosis in January of 24 and my reductions were as follows - each after 4 weeks and a rheumy visit 20 -15 -12.5 -10 - 7.5 -6.25 -5– 4.5-4 and most recently to 3.5. When I went to 4 I noticed a bit of hand swelling and loss of grip strength. Now at 3.5 I notice it a lot.

hello all. Well my last two ( three month) PSA tests were 0.10 and MO. And RO. Recommend somewhat early salvage radiation treatment. A question I would like some input on is should I look into proton therapy over IMRT. I would need to travel to Fred hutch or Salt Lake City as I live in Reno Nv. Just

Hello! I wanted some advice or to hear there’s light at the end of this miserable tunnel I have been getting steroid injections for the last 10 years into my toes and my thumbs. I have just had to move house and the packing put my hands into a lot of pain. So the doctor put steroids into my thumbs and

You can see this video by keying in the title of the video into your browser. It has some interesting nutritional facts, suggesting that too much lycopene supplement may increase metastases. However, lycopene from whole plant based foods is useful.

Who is eligible to use proton therapy as a treatment for prostate cancer. In a recent meeting with my oncologist and specialists I was told ONLY prostate cancer patients can do it and not those who have metastasize of the bone or other areas.

Finally found a local doctor to talk with about Provenge. Appointment is early Monday morning. For anyone familiar with Provenge, can you suggest questions for me to ask? My PSA has been rising after six years on Lupron only. 1.92 in June, all-time lows .5 3/2021.

I’ve experienced slowly increasing side effects over the past six to nine months. I passed it off to age and time on ADT, but I’ve recently discovered that I was switched from Lupron Depot to Eligard last November. Everything I read says the SEs should be the same. Has anyone else experienced the

I had gleason 7 /3+4. Completed ADT and EBRT (44 sessions) November of 2020. Undetectable psa up until 6 months ago. Then went to 0.1. I had been taking Androgel ( 2 pumps daily) my MO declared that I was " out of remission" and I then stopped the TRT. Since then, I've had two psa tests at 3 month intervals

Just curious if anyone had their MO suggest doing the proton therapy? When I have my discussion with my new MO, I want to ask if proton therapy would be a fit for myself. I have to deal with the prostate cancer and the met pelvic lymph nodes as well as the met bone issue.

Two years in to my de novo high volume metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis, I am pleased to report excellent results so far with triplet therapy (Docetaxel chemo completed, Abiraterone ARPI, Firmagon/Degarelix GnRH antagonist as ADT). However I would be grateful for any advice today. My ALT has fallen

I have been dealing with pmr for 8-9 years. Started at 15 mg. Been up and down from that for the last few years. I reached 7 mg this month. Started getting a pain all over so went back up to 8 mg. Feel much better except for the trigger fingers I developed almost over nite. Are trigger fingers a part

Hi everyone, does anyone have any recommendations for light compression gloves? Not the type with splint inserted. I have a swelling in my right hand (at the outer side below my wrist joint) which is very painful, am waiting to see my RA specialist but haven't received the appointment yet. I take 20mg
