Optimal testing regimen
With a PCa with aggressive features (GS9,low-PSA,intraductal,BRCA2+) apparently senescent for the time being, I need an aggressive monitoring regimen. Shortly meeting a doctor at an oncology department, I will as the most important tests ask for the following four, preferably every two months (CTC

Lactase Dehydogenase level high!
I started seeing an MPN specialist on July 1. He tested for lactase dehydrogenase and in was 242. I just had it repeated and it is now 327. My platelets rose from 648 to 725, wbc went from 13 to 16. HCT went down a little bit from 48.3 to 47.5 which I think both are high for female. I am really bothered

For cholesterol blood test or Calcium Score?
"A blood test for levels of cholesterol or fat — good and bad — forms part of a health MOT; total levels above 5 mmol/l (or ‘bad’
LDL
cholesterol above 3 mmol/l) often lead to statins being suggested.

Statin reducing HDL
I wonder if others have experienced a drop in HDL on statins ( in addition to tiny drop in

Treatment for high TSH with high T4
My TSH is too high, but my t4 is also above the normal range. My ft3 is below the normal range. Has anyone in this situation been treated with low dose naltrexone?

Stay in trial or find a new one?
Started a clinical trial with Lynparza and AZD6738 ATR inhibitor on 3/15/2021. (My profile shows detailed history from diagnosis in 2014.) On start date my PSA was 17.77. It reached a nadir of 6.92 by 5/24/2021. In two weeks, on 6/9/2021, it had gone to 11.32! This past Tuesday, two weeks later, it rise

I'm looking for advice for a doc appointment first thing on Tuesday.
Where to start? This may become rambling so head out and make yourself a cuppa before you commit. OK, I was feeling rough (rougher than normal) back in April, got a thyroid test to see what my levels were, TSH below range, T4 mid range, T3 below range. I came here and we chatted and decided that I needed

A low omega-3 index is just as strong a predictor of early death as smoking
A new research paper published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition last week showed that a low omega-3 Index is just as powerful in predicting early death as smoking. This landmark finding is rooted in data pulled and analyzed from the Framingham study, one of the longest running studies in

No intensification - is doc too laid back?
With a BRCA 2 mutation, Gleason 9, low PSA and intraductal cancer, I was preparing for “Total Combat” with a sharp intensification of my medication, which is now limited to ADT in the form of transdermal estrogen. “Hit the cancer hard and early”. To my surprise, doc suggests no added medication at all
