Bone Scan advice
Hello all, just a quick query . I've been on pred since the beginning of March , currently 12.5mg. I'm on Alendronic Acid too. I have been on Letrozole since my Mastectomy in June 2019. I had a bone scan then which is standard when starting something like Letrozole as it increases osteoporosis risk.

How does PCa affect Venous Thromboembolism risk?
New study below [1]. In Sweden, PCa isassociated with a ~50% increase in the risk of a deep vein thrombosis [DVT] or pulmonary embolism. This is much lower than some studies have reported, e.g.: "In a larger study from the UK using linked primary care, secondary care and National Statistic Cause of Death

Contradicting silly doctors' parrots
This subject is coming over and over into surface, so I decided to start a specific thread as I got bored in writing the same things over and over again: Post RP patients with a rising PSA are discouraged to take a PSMA PET/CT imaging before deciding on sRT, on the grounds that it will detect "nothing

Kidney problems
I have recently started Anastrazole and Adcal and Alendronic Acid tablets for bone density. My cancer is progressing and I don't believe the Anastraxole is having any positive effect. I also have a morphine patch for pain relief. In the last week I find that I am not urinating as frequently as usual

Cocktail a cause perhaps?
I’ve been on Prednisolone for 2 years this month starting at 15mg steadily going down until January when I stopped at 1mg . It wasn’t long before I had to back up to 5 mg . I am also on weekly Risondodate for bone protection as well as two blood pressure tablets 15mg candesartan and 2.5 mg indapamide

Legal medical cannabis
If I go down the medical cannabis route does anyone have any recommendations as to where to buy? I have done a quick Google but recommendations are always better

Postoperative or Salvage Proton Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer After Radical Prostatectomy
On 3/12/2021, this paper was published in the National Center for Biotechology Information. It is worth considering carefully following BCR. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8019576/

Spreading Cancer (Or Just Waking It Up)
If you look at any collection of "common myths about cancer", you will probably find reassurances about the idea that having cancer surgery might cause the cancer to spread to other parts of the body. I remember coming across this one some years ago being surprised - I'd never heard that one myself,

Can we take AD-cal at the same time as Pred?
Greetings one and all. At some time in the last year I read, somewhere (??) that I shouldn't take my Pred at the same time as my Adcal - but I now I can't find where I read it. Has anyone any knowledge on this and, if it is true, what is a reasonable time lapse between the two drugs? Thank you.

Ovarian Cystectomy
Hi, how are you? I'm 40 years old and I have an ovarian cyst that doctors believe to be an endometrioma (99%) for two years now. I have no symptoms whatsoever. Doctors want to perform an ovarian cystectomy due to the danger of torsion or cancer ( my mum had breast cancer). Since I'm not in pain, I'm

Heart rate over 100. Should I lower or up my Levo??
Hi I was wondering if someone had any advice on whether or not I should lower or up my Levo dose? I had upped from 100mg to 112.5 mg beginning of June, but my heart-rate just keeps going over 100bpm when I’m not doing anything. I’m still tired and feel as if I just can’t be bothered. I’ve been sitting

Salmon Protein Hydrolysate
New study below [1]. Anyone here using
Salmon Protein Hydrolysate
? FWIW: "A growing body of evidence implicates iron dysmetabolism in prostate cancer progression. A bioactive peptide-rich salmon protein hydrolysate (SPH) has previously been demonstrated to modulate iron homeostatic mechanisms.
