Hello, My father (75) has locally advanced prostate cancer, diagnosed in Sept. He started his hormone injections but will soon have to start hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for a pituitary issue, along with steroids. My understanding from speaking briefly to one of the hospital doctors is that HRT

Hi - I'm curious about the implications of treating subclinical hypothyroidism. The NHS diagnosed this for me some years ago, and since then I have been treated privately with ndt. I'd assumed the ndt was 'topping up' my low thyroid hormones, but now understand that the ndt acts as a 'replacement'. What

Unless I missed it, I haven't seen a post about the anticipated-this-fall results of the PATCH Study. I just noticed that it was reported out at the ESMO meeting a couple of weeks ago. They noted "key takeaways" to include: **Transdermal estradiol is as effective as LHRH agonist and there is no detriment

Blood Test Results: 8-16-24, end of 4th hiT cycle, drawn 7 hours after 11th T injection: PSA = 2.25 (similar to previous cycles) E2 = 87 (should be <30, so have re-introduced the AI letrozole in ongoing 5th hiT cycle) 9-3-24, middle of loT cycle, drawn after 1 week @ full dose Nubeqa and 1 wk half

Would like to know if anyone had hormone therapy (firmagon) injected other than in stomach…last time it was uncomfortable…Thanks

Am I limited in options because of my age? Scans, drug holidays, meds..? Agism? Not that I've run into it, yet (I think), but discourage from changes to get rid of bad ADT side effects, such as weakening, fatigue, ...

M64 (live in the UK). Diagnosed on 17.9.24 with PCa Gleeson score 3+4. PIRADS 3/4 and T3a, 'a few' cancer cells touching the capsule. Decided to take the Radiotherapy route. Met with with my Oncologist today, 1/10/24. I was pleasantly surprised that Radiotherapy is now 4 weeks instead of 7. What I

PSA bounce after radiation and biochemical reoccurrence treatment considered normal? anyone experience this how did it turnout?

I have been on pBAT FOR 15 months with slowly rising highs on T but also slowly rising lows while on low T (ADT Cyclr). I have no prostate and am hormone sensitive and always have been. My NADIR PSA before starting pBAT was 0.02 while on darolutamide and Orgovyx for 1 year. Since my recent high

Hi, I think I need some anti depressants to help with menopause anxiety, I am literally flat lining despite hrt.Please can you advise of the safest to take which don't interact with rls. Thankyou

I’m gutted because there had been a gradual increase in my FT3 throughout the last year titrating Armour (apart from a blip following covid at Christmas). It was at 75% in May! But now I know why I'm feeling so rough again: 24th Sept 2024 TSH 0.02 mIU/L (0.27 - 4.2) -6.4% Free T4 (fT4) 14 pmol/L (

In my bio - but, short version: Gleason “high 9”: 4+5 and 5+4 and 3+3 PSA 1078 on 8/28. Had an 11.4 mid July (different labs). Just had PET test - awaiting results, but docs so far thinking it is localized. I am 59. In very good shape in terms of strength, etc. Have lifted weights for decades (still

Dad was on orgovyx for a couple of months and his Testosterone levels had come down to 26. Around a month and a half back he added xtandi and the latest T levels came back at 41. MO said to repeat the T test after a couple of weeks and if it shows an increasing trend to shift to Degarelix or some

I’m 65 years, female, retired and have had graves for 5-6 years. Am presently on 5 mg carbimazole 6 days a week. I have good (can function)) months and bad months when I can hardly function for half the month - fatigue, brain fog, stomach cramps and nausea. When my weight went up recently ( about

Hi all , I have been on Decapeptyl injections now for 6 weeks alongside hrt ( everol 50 patches and Utrogestan 100mg continuously ) Iam currently having brown spotting and all my Endo symptoms again for the past 3 days Has anyone else had this ? Will it settle the longer iam on the injections ? Is

I am 46. I have had a rough couple of years. In lockdown I discovered I had gallstones and a large kidney stone. It was only the gallstones causing attacks. That was removed successfully. I then had a ureteroscopy to remove the kidney stone. This lead to ureteral spasms months afterwards. I then had

Hi all, it's been a while since I posted. My thyroid results are just in and these are the results and GP want to speak to me. They were done 1st thing in morning before food and didn't take my 175mg of Levothyroxine that morning. TSH has been 0.05 for years. I think I'm not converting T3 properly now

I'm on Orgovyx and Nubeqa, and we all know these ADT drugs reduce muscle mass and lead to muscle loss. Besides frequent resistance training, has anyone supplemented with creatine powder? Any benefit or side effects or counter-reactions?
