rising PSA and 'light' advancement of mets in hip bones. Diagnosed stage 4 in March 2021.
Greetings! My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in March 2021. ADT dropped the PSA quite a bit. We started seeing Dr. George at Duke March of 2023 and he had my husband on a round of docetaxel. After that the many bone mets and some on lungs 'disappeared'. Now it looks like they

Understand Your Blood Work
this is from a Canadian PBC Society PBC FACT SHEET (09/02/16) (may vary by lab) ALP Alkaline Phosphatase This enzyme occurs mainly in liver cells next to bile ducts, and in bone. The blood level is raised in PBC and is the main enzyme that is checked to see if you have a response to treatment

It was also noted that in the initial stages of the disease It is in the retina that the greatest neurodegeneration is found. and from a certain point, when the layer is already very thin, a kind of

I Had A Stroke
Last week I had an ischemic stroke. It affected my right leg and right arm/hand. I woke up to a heavy arm and heavy leg but my face, smile, and speech were unaffected. It got progressively worse throughout the day and I went to the ER 9 hours after I woke up. I should have gone to the ER right after

Anyone read much about Thyroid and Alzheimer's connection?
Found a few papers which suggest they are linked and I wondered what the treatment is for Alzheimer's? Brother just been diagnosed but I know his fT3 is low and he doesn't convert T4 well

radiation question, possible kidney stones.
my husband had SBRT (prostate, few spots on spine, and one rib) in August and November 2023 with no side effects. He recently had lab work and It showed blood in urine, high protein, and crystals. He had an ultrasound to rule out kidney stones and it showed nothing so he is now scheduled for a Uro CT

How Long To Discontinue 5-ARIs and/or Select Supplements to "Unmask" PSA?
Disregarding the discussion as whether to temporarily discontinue or not discontinue in fht efirst place... Purportedly some substances may "mask" PSA. I believe the general rule of thumb is on 5-ARIs like Avodart (Dutasteride) you are supposed to double the PSA reading to get the "real" PSA? In addition

Chronic Liver Disease Post Transplant
Hi, I had a liver transplant in October 2017 and apart from a little set back right at the beginning, meaning I was in Addenbrookes for 5 weeks, I have been really well. I haven’t even had Covid! However a couple of months ago, I had a CT scan which showed that I have chronic liver disease. To say

some suggestions - PCa websites?
Hey all: As I’ve mentioned before, I’m doing a comic about this experience. I want to have a short section at the end with websites that are good for learning about prostate cancer. I have room for a few more, and am looking for suggestions. Not an exhaustive list, but hoping for a useful list: Thanks

nose bleed
was rushed to hospital 2weeks ago for pneumonia. Was discharged after a week. Wasn’t home 24 hrs. And out of the blue my nose started bleeding. It hasn’t stopped. Has this happened to anyone else and what did the doctors do to stop it?

1st transplant done in trial of Parkinson’s cell therapy ANPD001
This experimental therapy for Parkinson’s uses a type of stem cell called an induced pluripotent stem cell, or iPSC, which is able to generate nearly any type of cell in the body — including dopamine-producing neurons. Its manufacturing is a three-step process. https://parkinsonsnewstoday.com/news

When were you going to mention I had early CKD? Oh I see, stage II isn’t anything to worry my little head about 😠
As my profile name implies, I have spent 20+ years in the healthcare industry. It took longer than I’d like to admit to awakening to how broken, corrupted and frankly dangerous this “Healthcare Industrial Complex” is. I recently had my annual exam with a PCP that I have always had great respect for
