Doctor makes it seem like I want to have surgery and not like I actually need it
After struggling with severe constant daily pain for a year and a half, a gynaecologist has decided to put me on a waiting list for surgery. I didn't go see him requesting to be put on a list, but he thought it'd be a good idea because hormonal treatment hasn't worked, and painkillers don't help. However

Why we add an AART drug to ADT?
In response to a post asking if adding enzalutamide to ADT is beneficial: Xtandi would increase T levels if not simultaneously using an LHRH ADT. It blocks AR in hypothalamus leading to perception of deficit and increased LH and testicular testosterone. So enzalutamide or apalutamide used without ADT

Struggle with organisation and concentration.
Can anyone recommend a good private Dr who treats with
ndt
. or any additional vitamin tests as well as the usual thyroid panel. I have hashimotos .I do know in the past beta blockers have made a huge difference and helped me pass my driving test / interviews etc.

Post RT decisions on ADT and relative risk benefit
apologies for long ramble again … Next month I discuss how long to stay on HT (zoladex) after RT last December. I can feel like dealing with some multi headed hydra trying to balance risks/benefits especially as I have G9 (albeit maybe locally contained) and my personal comorbidities. As I reflect

Bloods help please
I was over active 4 weeks ago so was cut from 1 1/2 grains of armour (
NDT
) to 1 grain. I struggle to go over a grain as I get terrible heart palps, also as soon as I up my
NDT
my t3 goes over range as it is quite high already. I am unsure whether to add in 25mg of levo (tirosint) or what really.

Calling all BAT-men ...
(... that's you, Russ!) I am about to begin BAT with a new MO (who works in MA and NH), and am looking for some input from forum members. My MO has an existing contact at Johns Hopkins that he's consulted, but is not (yet) in direct contact with anyone from Denmeade's group so far as I know. A little

Headache since starting Armour - should I stop taking it?
I have started taking 1 grain of Armour
ndt
after being on 100 mcg of Levothyroxine. Since starting 10 days ago I have had a headache every day. I have taken Armour before with no headaches that I can remember but changed to Naturethroid when Armour became too expensive.

Extreme hair loss :(

PSA Climbing
my husband’s psa has been climbing for 6 months. He recently left the urologist he was going to and is now going to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, NY. They ordered an mri, PSMA pet and biopsy. Nothing shows but his psa keeps rising. They ordered another PSMA pet for 2/16. Advice

Vacation Proposal
Post Script: After my long winded post, Dr Borno just phoned. They've decided they would prefer not to rush into a break. Since he's tolerating treatment so well, and his complicated case, they'd rather not rock the boat. So Dr Hala Borno MO and Dr Osama Mohamad RO (UCSF) are collaborating on Jim's

Second Opinion?
In an earlier post I mentioned a vertebral fracture of my thoracic spine that was discovered only because my General Practitioner ordered X-rays because I'd been complaining of back pain for a very long time. I'd told my Onco-team as well. They shrugged it off every time I mentioned it saying, your

Looking for suggestion of clinical trials for mCRPC
I have had SBRT (2007), Chemotherapy (2010/2011), ADT using Casodex/Lupron/Zytiga (2012-Current). Interested in joining trials that involve PARP inihibitors, immunotherapy, or other new/novel therapies. Can any of you suggest trials currently accepting candidates. My PSA was undetectable (<0.01) for

First time posting. I have stage IVB PC, which was discovered via a hernia procedure in November 2022. I completed 1 month of ADT with no side effects and my PSA dropped to 1.0.

ART Systematic Review of the Decipher® Genomic Classifier in Prostate Cancer
Decipher genomic testing can help determine who will not benefit from ADT treatment thereby sparing them from side effects. When combined with SOC testing it increase predictive accuracy for who will have metastisis (MET) by 85-90%. Both biopsy and clinical specimens can be used. I had my Decipher
