Can medication elevate the PSA?
My PSA at time of the cancer diagnosis was 5.56. Being in the hospital right now with several meds surging through me, the PSA is at 348.00. Is this a normal reaction?

recently diagnosed with overactive thyroid
hi Forgot to mention… I’ve been taking multivitamins which obviously contain iodine, as I’ve just been diagnosed with overactive thyroid should I stop taking them?? Not yet on medication I'm currently waiting for carbimazole prescription.

I was diagnosed with decompensated liver cirrhosis a few months ago. I came out of hospital about a month ago, from Ascites, jaundice and pneumonia. I am extremely upset by this and very scared. I have completely stopped drinking since my time in hospital. I could barely walk after leaving hospital

My first post concerning APC
Hello everyone. I have just found this site, so unfamiliar with posting protocol. Briefly. I was diagnosed with advanced metastatic prostate cancer (bones) in January, 2023 (thought I just needed to stock up on antacids). February, 2023 prescribed Apalutamide plus Trelstar. Ceased being effective April

Bone scan/CT sensitivity?
My husband has only ever had regular nuclear bone scan and CT. PSA is now rising over 6 months from .45 to.9. At what PSA level would repeat scans be likely to image progression? I am aware of PSMA and this might come down the line but currently from what I read from TA and others is that we need comparable

Jevtana
Once again I am asking for any information that can be provided from this great group. Would appreciate any information for Jevtana treatment. At doctor's appt yesterday, my husband's hemoglobin had decreased to 7.6 and he had to have a blood transfusion. His Alkaline Phosphatase went up again.

Poop talk: microbiome and prostate cancer, some news
Ok, it's one fascinating subject, especially if we use the word microbiome! Consider that the study was carried out on murine models but also on humans, so there are some interesting findings. In a small small nutshell (but I suggest you to read the whole article, at least the introduction and the conclusions

Enzalutamide Plus 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors for Castrate-Sensitive Prostate Cancer
Phase II trial exploring the combination of enzalutamide with five alpha-reductase inhibitors (ARIs) for castrate-sensitive prostate cancer. Driven by observations from geriatric oncology, the study seeks alternatives to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for older, frail men who struggle with its side

Low Potassium/High Calcium Caution
Hi Guys I had a mineral check via a hair test and a DNA Methylation report via a mouth swab (corrected 16 June as I had them the wrong way round) as suggested by a nutritionist who has been helping me sort my gut and auto-immune issues. I wasn't expecting much ... but how lovely to be pleasantly surprised

Does PSA drop after starting ADT tell us anything?
My husband started Firmagon shots a month ago. Before starting his PSA was 5.9. It was tested a few days ago and it’s 1.4 now. Does this tell us anything of any significance? Thanks!

Does anyone take this supplement?
I have been doing a lot of research on how to fix cramping. Let me first say, no pickle juice does not work. I also do not have fluid taken off during dialysis. I add 400ml of saline each treatment. I also have no fluid restrictions and so I do drink a lot of water. And none of my mineral labs indicate

Elevated liver enzymes but no cause?
Hello, just wondering if anybody else has elevated liver enzymes but no cause found? ALT and AST have been raised for months but doctors can’t find a cause. I’ve had SO many tests, scans etc, and everything is normal? Yet they keep coming back raised. I take 1.25mg bisoprolol but doctors are certain

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage & Tinnitus
Hi I had a Subarachnoid hemorrhage 4 weeks ago with no Aneurysms or other abnormalities found after an Angiogram. I feel very lucky & grateful to be one of the lucky ones. I've been taking 5mg of Amlodipine for 2 weeks to stop BP peaking & have since had mild tinnitus. I'm seeing GP next week for BP

Docetaxal chemotherapy
I have had prostate cancer since 2017. First I had radiation and then Lupron for three years. When my PSA started to rise I took abiraterone and Lupron for 3 more years and was undetectable. It started to rise again to 1.78. Then I was put on Xtandi but after a week I developed a full body rash. When

Please could I ask what your thoughts are on Stem Cell Therapy?
My wife was diagnosed with PD in 2015. She was fine until summer 2021 when she had a fall in the garden and ended up in hospital for 3 weeks. She was then put on Sinemet Plus 25/100 mg. Since then her deterioration has been quite fast. Rigidity, stiffness, slow movement and exhaustion getting worse

The most informative web page I have seen about vision loss after stroke is from the RNIB.
Hi folks was searching for info on loss of vision after TIA and came across this page from the Royal National Institute for the Blind. It's really informative so I thought I'd share it. https://www.rnib.org.uk/your-eyes/eye-conditions-az/stroke-related-eye-conditions/#what-are-some-of-the-common-visual-symptoms-of-stroke

Going blind, suspected TIA, anyone else had this
For the last couple of months my vision from the left eye has been going black after exposure to bright light and LED lights for more than a couple of hours.

adalimumab side effects
Have been on adalimumab 2 weekly injections for nearly 3 months. Have noticed that I am losing an excessive amount of hair each time that I comb my hair. Also, I have been suffering from swollen legs /ankles over the past month without doing very much at all. Have previously needed to stop methotrexate
