Help interpreting summary of DEXA scan, please?
I had a DEXA san in January 2022, 18 months after being diagnosed and starting on Pred. By then my usual GP was away. I was just told I had osteopenia. I’m 65. For several months I wasn’t even advised what to do about it until I spoke again to my regular doc, who prescribed soluble ADCAL D3.

Former art teacher with a passion for travel
Former art teacher. I started traveling in my fifties and it became my passion (I’ve visited 41 countries so far!) until Covid and then my stage 4 diagnosis came. Diagnosed with IDC stage 3 in 2015. My great-grandmother had breast cancer in the 1920s, and an aunt had it when she was in her mid-eighties

New study from Sartor et al below [1]. "Bipolar Androgen Therapy (BAT) is a novel therapy known to be effective in a subset of men with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)."

Next Move?
Briefly, I had Radical Prostatectomy in February of 2018, ADT with Salvage Radiation ending in September of 2019 and undetectable PSA until August of 2022 when it increased to .09, then .12 in October, and .22 in December. Finally, .34 in March 2023. I just received this message from my Oncologist

Disappointing news
Hello, I was first informed I had Osteoporosis 8 years ago after a Dexa at age 63. I was prescribed a few years of Alendronic Acid, and Adcal which I still takeI took steps to improve by taking up various activities and in 2022 started running regular 5ks. I eat healthily and enjoy lots of veg, in fact

Fatty Liver with Gall Bladder removal?
Wondering how many here had a fatty liver that progressed after gall bladder removal. From what I have read once the gall bladder is removed ox bile or bile salts should be taken to help the liver process the fat in your food. I didn’t know this until 1 year after my removal so I wonder if this had anything

Start of first cycle
I am just about to start my first cycle. Anyone else at the same point in their journey? I had a mock cycle which went well with Progynova increasing my lining really well but it also showed up 3 polyps, which were large and needed removing as they could have affected the transfer. All removed now

Tricky question... painful topic
Hi all, I've been with my current partner for 7 years, married for almost 2. We've been struggling to conceive for 6 of those years after a failed vasectomy reversal. Due to our history from when my SO used to be an alcoholic (he used to be VERY abusive and still has the odd rare mild episode) we are

Decided to have a robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy - update
Reasons for my decision: I made a decision based on my understanding, see below. Radiation - no effect on urinary leakage, sexual function initially preserved but wanes for most, limited options for salvage - if cancer recurs treatment is palliative/non curative, long term radiation damage to bladder

Almost forgot I have PC
I have been off the grid for a while. Back in late November, I started having bladder problems including bleeding, urgency, frequency and incontinence. In December I was diagnosed with stage 3/b bladder cancer. In late January I had open Cystectomy and was in the hospital for 10 days. My MO put my PC

Lansoprazole and prednisolone
At a medication review last week, the pharmacist at my local GP surgery mentioned that I should perhaps be taking lansoprazole to protect my stomach so that has now been added to my increasing list of medications. As a bit of background, I was diagnosed with PMR in November 2022 and put on 15mg prednisolone

Questions about hormone therapy...
Greetings, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, Gleason 8, no indication of metastasis in January. I just had a radical prostatectomy, including the removal of nerves. Post surgery pathology downgraded the two legions to a Gleason 5 and a Gleason 7, with no indication of any cancer touching the anterior

buprenorphine patch - any advice?
Hello, my GP has agreed to prescribe me the buprenorphine patch 5mg starting from Monday. He will not prescribe tablets at this point - he feels the patch will give me better coverage for both the pain in my joints and also my chronic restless legs and will counter the continual withdrawal type issues

Long term side effects from salvage radiation after radical prostatectomy
Hi folks, I'm considering salvage radiation (~34 treatments) after a prostatectomy where the PSA didn't drop below .2. I'd like to get a feel for how common the long term side effects of Salvage radiation (to bladder, bowel, hemorrhoids, etc.) are, by hearing your experiences. Thanks in advance.

COPD and Radiation for Breast Cancer
I am trying to find information on the potential effects on my existing COPD if I have radiation therapy for breast cancer. I am being treated at a top cancer center in the US and they definitely promote lumpectomy plus radiation over mastectomy. I am almost 70 years old and a widow, and I really don't
