Experiences with

Natural desiccated thyroid (NDT)

Briefly I have been hypothyroid for 17 years, I was on Levo but for the last 10 years I have been taking NDT which has been great. I’ve received a text saying I must see the doctor, they say I’m over medicated. Results TSH 0.01. (0.27-4.2) lab wants this in range.

Quick question. Let's say that you have Mets and don't know it. You think the PCa is contained because our last Pet-scan 2 months earlier said so. Are we wasting time going onto ADT if that treatment is mainly for contained PCa? Or will the ADT put a lid on the Mets wherever they are in our body?

Has anyone tried the AlteraAI test that uses AI to analyze the tumor samples and can predict the risk of developing metastatic disease after radiation for localized tumor with or without ADT. It has just been approved by Medicare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6UOmj7z8Jw&t=10s&ab_channel=ProstateForumofOrangeCounty

Can anyone help me interpret my PET scan results from yesterday, and suggest possible courses of action? They seemed bad, but not disastrous. “Focal uptake in the right prostate bed (max SUV 5.3) as well as the right lesser trochanter (max SUV 4.5), not present on the prior study, suspicious for

Hi everyone~ I just wrote recently but this Decipher test seems to have up-ended our lives. My husband, 75, overweight w/Watchman, was dx'ed late Nov. w/what was originally classified as Favorable Risk Intermediate after random biopsy; we went to a urologic oncologist out of Froedtert in Milwaukee

OK, I'm going to be open and honest and looking for the same from my fellow compatriots. From what I know, ADT, once it gets going, will physically affect our family jewels. Shrinkage is one of the things that is likely to happen. What is the best way to try and reduce these effects? I see that

Going into 7 years. No prostate. ADT on and off. Recently while on Lupron & NUBEQA PSA continues to rise. Now at 10.1 and Testosterone nondectable. PSMA/PET/CT scan last weeks states no metastases present. We meet with Dr. Aggarwal next week. Last month at our visit he told us at this point “Scans

Five weeks after starting on finesteride 5 mg I developed painfully sensitive teeth both top and bottom on left side of my mouth. Here's what a google search turned up: https://forum.propeciahelp.com/t/propecia-and-dental-problems/1254 https://www.ehealthme.com/ds/finasteride/toothaches/ I became

Just when I thought I had it sussed. ( I’ve been on NDT for 6 years now) Many thanks for reading.

I am ending ADT at 1 year. As of today my Testosterone is <0.01. It was 4.3 mg/mL before my first shot. Is there any data on how long it will take a 61 YO to start to see some T come back? Anyone here of a similar age and duration have any words or wisdom on what to expect? My next test will

I had RP in January of 2023, started ADT in May of 2023 and went through 38 session of SRT between July and August. In am currently on my second six month dose of Eligard and it should be done in May of this year. In November 2023, I had my first PSA test since SRT and it was .008 ng/mL. I just got

As I complained a couple of months ago that PSA could be increasing, today the PSA moved a bit down from 0.03 3 months ago to 0.01 today :-), so I needed to write a few words here about my feelings. With a warm-hearted attitude, somehow enthusiastic but foolish too, as these things are never static,

51, diagnosed at age 50 (Pirad 5 w/ ECE, 3+4 (20%), PSA 10.1, negative PSMA, Decipher high 0.84). I received SBRT treatment at UCLA in late October, 2023 (finished 10/25).

For anyone who had the bilateral orchidectomy, I would like some advice for my husband. When was it done? Before or after BCR occurred? What are the side effects? Do you take any other ADT meds after? How is your QOL and is there anything you'd do differently. He had RP in Dec 2021. No other treatment
