Fenbendazole Just Might be Working–Part 2
So, if it is working (see Part 1), my question is what would be the best course to follow when I am on ADT holiday waiting to see if PSA comes back (lupron due to wear off in November)? I take the view that if I am cured, some extra treatments are not a big deal, and, if I am not (more likely IMO),

BAT like therapy
I have G9, hormone sensitive prostate cancer. Had an RP in 12/2018. Estrogen therapy dropped my T down to zero. And my PSAs remained at zero. I did this for 5 months but stopped because of the side effects (felt great mentally but no libido and strength loss to the point that I wondered how long I could

My thought. Please critique this plan. I am not PrC (had RP in 12/2018 and PSAs have been zero since then). Gleason 9, one local lymph node, positive margin. This is my tentative plan (reduce risk of CrPc and increase libido for a little bit each year). 6 monthsBicalutamide, Dutasteride, Zytiga 2

Prostate cancer G9 local lymph node positive. Pos margin.
Hi, I was doing estrogen patch therapy and it dropped my T down to zero. And my PSAs remained at zero. I did this for 5 months but stopped because of the side effects (felt great mentally but no libido and strength loss to the point that I wondered how long I could keep pursuing therapies). So I started

Changing from the combined pill to POP
So I’ve been advised by my GP to consider changing from Lucette to a POP. She advised this as there is a history of breast cancer in the family and so thinks I shouldn’t have a pill with oestrogen in. I’m a little apprehensive about doing this, can anyone share their experience if they have done this

Endo related back pain?
Hi, I’m going to get straight to the point... Sadly I experienced a miscarriage at the end of May this year. Prior to that I begun experiencing the endo pain as I had stopped the Medroxyprogesterone so we could try for a family. For the last 3 years I have struggled with lower back pain/leg pain that

Tibolone HRT advice needed ! after a total hysterectomy due to Endometriosis

First day of treatment for Endometriosis and PMDD (Synarel HRT)
Hi guys, Today is my first day of treatment for PMDD and Endometriosis. I’ve been prescribed with Synarel nasal spray and an oestrogen HRT which is supposed to simulate a hysterectomy, if I react well the doctor will go ahead and give me one. I know you shouldn’t, but of course I’ve been online reading

Sex hormones labs back - feedback please
I posted the other day about how to take estrogen and progesterone - continually vs cyclically - and now my latest labs are back (blood drawn on day 21 of cycle so luteal phase - I'm 50, my periods have been irregular for the past year). Ref ranges refer to "luteal phase" in the first brackets and "menopause

Osteoporosis, Osteopenia, Calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, etc.
Postmenopausal bone loss has long been recognized as a major problem. It always amused me that women were told to take calcium when their bones were leaching calcium. When osteopenia or osteoporosis occurs following the menopause shouldn't one suspect a hormonal issue? A 1988 paper [1] reported that

Fertilisation fail
I’m a 34 yo currently undergoing my 5th round of IVF. We’ve got 4 PGS tested embryos on ice, and I’ve had one unsuccessful transfer of a 3 day embryo on my first round and subsequently changed our approach to an embryo banking one after a sudden change in my AMH (at last test it was 3.4). For all rounds

Neupogen wash
Hi does anyone have any experience with the neurogen wash and know where I could have this. I have lining issues waiting for a FET but my lining won’t get above 5mm despite 10mg estrogen support. I have heard about this wash but my clinic looked blank when I asked about it. I’m in East Midlands x
