Hi Folks I am sorry for the long absence. Essentially Liz sustained some bruises and accused a member of staff of harming her. That was five months ago. The Social Services put restrictions on both the staff and myself whilst they investigated it. I had seen Liz that day and so had 'opportunity' and

Damn the Torpedoes Part 2. Impact of exercise on a low calorie, LCHF diet.
Generally speaking, the average woman needs 2000 calories; men 2300. For the sake of simplicity, we’ll just use 2300, which will include basal metabolic requirements (just living breathing, repairing, digesting etc) and basic everyday mundane activity, but excludes exercise. We need 2300, but are

Damn the Torpedoes Part 1. Introduction.
Ok folks, on the back of my previous post here’s my program for the coming two or three weeks. This was to have been one long post, but as there is a lot of ground to cover, I will break it up into more manageable chunks. But before we go there here’s a little background. I am 69 years old, weigh 176

Questions for follow up visit?
I have moved and need to set up a local urologist so I have an appointment with the guy who did emergency surgery on me when I was assaulted in the local ER room by a horrible doctor. Recently I had a rather large increase in PSA much higher than after brachy IMRT years ago. Some of the tests were while

HUSBAND'S LATEST PSA AFTER ZYTIGA
PSA now 4.20, down from 7.58 in late November, 2018 Below is my husband's signature showing his history.

Doing it right.
Did anyone watch '' We must talk about death''? I was very impressed and uplifted with their findings that patients with Dementia and other serious health issues are overall much better cared for at home. Their quality of life is much improved,and the palliative care at home is normally far better then

Talking about death
Did anyone see last night’s BBC programme ‘we need to talk about death’? As someone who was stage 4 and on palliative care from diagnosis, I found it really helpful. It was so positive about palliative care and hospices. Even verified that palliative care can not only improve quality of life but also

Need help/suggestions
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could receive more
intensive
care
? I don’t want to just be admitted to a psych ward and have more drugs given to me. But I feel like I need more personalized and individualized care. I need something. I don’t know what to do anymore.

Consolidating and chipping away the miles
Haven’t posted in a bit: I am chipping away at my target mileage for the month (aiming for 20+ to achieve 250 over the year: modest for many but an achievable challenge for me), running usually twice a week, 4 or 5k each run. Managed three runs this week: a gentle 3.5k shuffle this afternoon to take

ADT Holiday to Locate and Zap Metastases?
My RO has suggested I might wish to consider an ADT holiday and then, when PSA reaches a sufficient level (1.7?), doing an axumin scan. If there are no bone or non-lymph visceral mets, then radiate the pelvic lymph nodes. This was in response to my question about maybe just radiating them now. I will

More proof that results of SBRT are equivalent to IMRT (yet faster and cheaper)
I am pleased that SBRT was my choice of primary therapy 8 years ago. The randomized comparisons are showing that it is at least as beneficial as IMRT, but it takes only 4 or 5 treatments and costs a lot less too. Here are the results of two more randomized clinical trials so far: https://pcnrv.blogspot.com
