More Evidence Linking ADT for PCa to Adverse Neurocognitive Effects -Meta-analysis shows increased risk of dementia, Parkinson's, depression
[i]As if we needed more reasons to dislike or avoid ADT, here is additional evidence of negative neurocognitive effects. This MedPage Today article will expecially be of special interest to those of us well into our "Golden Years" and on or considering ADT. [/i]

Working with Stage IV
First time posting (be gentle) Anybody else still at work with the disease. I’ve contributed to a pension for 24 years, and with being diagnosed, am I being foolish staying at work. Note-minimum retirement is 58 at my work. Also, did read this right, ADT only gives about 10 mos. to 1 year increase

Are Lymph nodes a filter?
Do lymph nodes simply act as a temporary filter to prevent cancer from spreading too far? I was curious about this because I have 4th stage prostate cancer, and my Lymph had swelled to the size of a golfball. When I took the ADT, my PSA went from 1000, down to 6, and all evidence of cancer disappeared

Recovery of Testosterone
We all have heard about how long it takes to recover testosterone after you stop ADT. You probably also heard how age affects recovery time. The older you are the longer it takes and the T may never recover. The type of ADT you take can also affect recovery time - shot versus pill. I am 78 and I have

Sciatica
I went off ADT 9 months ago after 6 months of Elegard depot treatment following prostate radiation. I know that many of the side effects of ADT can persist months and even years after stopping Elegard (Lupron). But I seem to have developed new symptoms (breast sensitivity and sciatica) 6 months after

Re: Weight lifting for ADT fat gain and weight gain
A huge thank you 🙏🏻 to everybody who posted comments for my son about lifting weights for weight gain/fat accumulation while on ADT . I sent them on and he did read them, and he called and told me that he was going to go that route and possibly higher a personal trainer too! Despite hiking just about

Return of Armpit Odor - Yikes!!!
For almost two years, I (and others! 😃) have noticed the absence of male armpit odor. Attributable to full ADT (for metastatic PCa) and suppression of testosterone. (I'm on Triplet Therapy.) This morning I was surprised to notice odor for the first time since diagnosis. Due shortly for blood panel including

Estrogen vs ADT?
I've read 5 recent papers that discuss the use of estrogen as an alternative treatment to ADT (Lupron, etc.). The new data looks very favorable. A bit of history. Huggins discovered this effect around 1941-44, and he found that high doses of estrogen (estradiol) efficiently castrated men, which

Where to get contents of Thyroid meds tested and verified
I bought some some
NDT
and I want to get the contents/ingredients checked to see how much T3 and T4 is in each, does anyone know of a lab in UK or Europe or in fact anywhere that does it

Age and timing for Triplet therapy?
I am age 81, active and neither fit nor frail, radiated in 2021 without hormone therapy. Radiated again in 2023 for a pelvic node. In December the PSA rose to 3.78 and a PSMA-PET scan showed cancer growing in prostate, shrinking in pelvic node, and spread to one abdominal node. I started ADT with

perineural Invasion
My prostate biopsy has discovered perineural invasion (cancer along nerves) in 4 out of 6 sites with Gleason Score 9 in half of my prostate. This is associated with a significantly worse prognosis for survival. What are experiences of other men with this diagnosis? I am 84, in good health, and preparing

Statin use and mortality risk in men on ADT.
New ADT study from Hong Kong (1). "A total of 4920 patients were included, consisting of 2578 statin users and 2342 non-users (mean age 76.1 ± 8.2 years). Over a mean follow-up period of 4.2 ± 3.3 years, it was observed that statin users had significantly lower risks of both PCa-related mortality

My decision on Radiotherapy -v- Prostatectomy
I hope this story might be useful to others. I'm based in the UK and had a PSA of 12.7 from a test in June 2023. That led to an MRI in August with a PI-RADS of 5 with irregularity on the front of the prostate. I eventually had a biopsy at the end of September after 3 cancellations (this was through the
