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

nephrectomy
hi I’m just after a bit of advice I had my right kidney removed 4 weeks ago it was removed robotically and took over 7 hours due to the size of a non cancerous tumour. I had 4 small incisions and one large one lower down which is quite big! My tummy is still very swollen and sore. Is this normal? I

I was a junior high Science teacher... in 2015 my PKD became so profound that I had to quit teaching and have HD 3 times a week for 4 hours a session. The second time I had dialysis I was infiltrated severely... and wound up in hospital.. I have had a bilateral Nephrectomy and my kidneys were football

All kidney tests normal EXCEPT albumin/ creatinine ratio
hi. Haven't posted in while. My duff went up from 40 to 70!! But now test just came back that my albumin/creatinine ratio is slightly above normal. Should I be concerned?

Carnosine as potential initial PCa treatment
Researchers have discovered that a naturally-occurring molecule could potentially be an effective first line of treatment against prostate cancer. Nottingham Trent University (NTU) scientists investigated the anti-cancer properties of carnosine, which can be produced in the body and is also found

GCA - kidney problem
Hi All warriors. Diagnosed with GCA July, 2023. Put on 60 mg now tapered down to l7mg (Dec. 2023). All symptoms under control at this time. My last blood work showed my Creatinine at 104 and GFR at 45. This showed a mild to moderate decrease in kidney function. As a result I had a kidney/bladder

Stomach rumbling growling and pain
Hi, i have a lot of stomach growling and rumbling which is extremely loud and can be heard from far away. People have commented on hearing a lot of noise and it makes me uncomfortable. I also get a lot of pain. The rumbling/growling happens most of the day and last quite a long time between intervals

If I Didn't Have Faith and Family Like You!
Now, I just shared my story about my weekend in NY seeing Chris Botti; now I'm sitting in the Family Waiting Room of Jefferson Hospital for hubby to get out of surgery. He kept complaining of bad back and stomach pain. Well, large Kidney Stone causing a blockage! He needed a different procedure; not

Positive results after five months
I hope it’s ok that I share my good news? I finally went to the hospital to a nephrologist - 6 months after realizing I had CKD stage 3.. my eGFR was about 50-53. No other symptoms.. My doctor showed me my test results that went way back - and they showed above normal creatinine and below normal eGFR

Possible kidney disease
Hi friends, after a recent flare-up I got some routine testing done, and one of the kidney markers showed up in a urine test. It showed micro-proteins, or mircoalbuminuria, which is different to the protein that shows up for a UTI. Apparently, the microalbuminuria means the kidneys are leaking, which

polycystic liver disease
I wanted to find out if anyone else had experienced severe Polycystic Liver Disease. I had resection 12 years ago which was successful but my cysts have grown back more aggressively. I have been advised by specialist that they cannot de-roof as would space simply be filled by other cysts, resection

Avodart and Flomax
Hello brothers. Is it safe to use Avodart and Flomax with advanced prostate cáncer? I am tired of getting up to pee 7 or 8 times a night.

kidney stones
The doctor has said I could have kidney stones but because the pain is very mild it’s not an immediate concern as it’s the weekend. I should try and ride it out until my blood tests and scan next week unless it gets severe.
