Dodged Another Bullet
I was on Eligard for two years and the hormone treatment was ended in October 2022. On July 3rd 2023 I had a minor heart attack. Fortunately I recognized the symptoms straight away and went directly to the ER. I had a >90% blockage in my right coronary artery, and ended up with one stent in the artery

eGFR down 14% since starting ADT
I just noticed that my estimated GFR which measures kidney health is down from 89 in October to 77 in June 2023. In October I started Lupron. Does Lupron impact kidney health? This is something I want to keep track off. Mark

Sweet!
Had 2nd of 90 days Lupron Feb 1-23 as adjuvant 6-month ADT therapy with my Salvage IMRT. First PSA test yesterday and T level. Undetectable (less than .006 uPSA) and T level of 30. Here's to hoping it stays down. I know BCR may happen over the long run with SVI, PNI, bladder neck, and surgical margins

Response follows: [i]There are several treatments available for advanced prostate cancer, which is prostate cancer that has spread beyond the prostate to other parts of the body. The choice of treatment depends on many

Blood results from Rant thread
TSH - 0.01 T4 - 16.6 (11-25) T3 - 5.5 (3.10-6.8) Vit B12 - 447 (180-900) Folate - 4.3 (3-20) I had not taken my
NDT
for 12 hours beforehand. I only had these over the phone but will pick up the print out on Monday. Folate looks dire, but GP is "happy" with the results.

ideal biochemistry monitoring
question: I know that there are protols for regular blood PSA and sometimes Testosterone when on SOC following RT and during the 2-3 years ADT (with localised high risk G9-10). My excellent ONC does a full biochemistry every 3 months with a face to face meeting which is great, but I will have to

Hungover/rough feeling without any alcohol?
Hi all, I am moving from Levo &
NDT
to Levo and T3 and since I've started the changeover I get random periods where I feel really rough, almost like a hangover but I haven't had any booze for over 3 months. My head feels weird, heavy on my neck.

Any informed opinions on NMN or NAMPT for advanced Pca - on ADT, no mets yet? Thanks! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4537380/
This question arose based on the advocacy of NMN by Harvard longevity doctor David Sinclair. He's the author of Lifespan: Why We Age - and Why We Don't Have To" Any known or postulated contraindications in taking NMN for advanced PCa? https://www.google.com/search?q=david+sinc%3Bair+youtube&oq=david

GUIDANCE trial
Hi All, I'm about to start treatment with SBRT in about 3 weeks after getting SpaceOAR placed, and I've been enrolled in the GUIDANCE trial designed to attempt vessel sparing and avoid nerve bundles. I'm in the low Decipher score group (0.34), but there is still a 50% chance that I'll have to do ADT

Should I add in T3 and where do I source it ?
About a year ago I experimented with switching to
NDT
( under a private endocrinologist ) but it made my adrenal insufficiency very unstable, so I went back to levothyroxine only..

Would you have NODAL RT in 5 fractions?
Prostate SBRT in 5 fractions has now been adopted as standard of care for all risk levels of PCa. But doctors are now turning their eyes to nodal radiation (Whole Pelvis RT - WPRT) in 5 fractions as well. I am having HDR Brachy boost therapy with follow up node radiation starting next week at

PSA rise but scans are clear. Appetite and activity level are 0
I have spoken on here a few times about my dad who is on Erleada + ADT but it has failed. They have done quite a few scans recently because he is in significant pain. But all scans have come back “clear” in that there is no significant change in metastasis etc. we are at a point now where he barely

QOL Post- Thank you KALIBER!
I was chatting with Kali several months ago after I was considering selling the scooter, fearing the loss of strength due to ADT would be an issue picking this 800+ lb machine back up if I ever lost my footing at a stoplight or something... I bought this brand new in 1982 when I was 27 yrs old. Kali

Catabolic Wasting, Cachexia and Sarcopenia - Life Extension Foundation, Section Update: 03/2021
As most men with PCa are oldER and may be on some form of testosterone-blocking treatment, like ADT, odds are they are also struggling with the muscle-wasting and weight issues that comes with both oldER age and loss of T. This article from LEF is a very comprehensive overview of both Cachexia and Sarcopenia

Help on what to expect with this 6 month follow up?
Hi All, My father will be going in for his 6 month follow up on August 2nd. 6 months since he has completed radiation. So my extreme anxiety and worrying has officially returned in full force. In the past gaining knowledge here on this forum has restored some of my sanity so hope it is okay that pry

Maddening Contradictory Advice
Latest update on my still hormone sensitive lymph nodes-only but widespread metastatic cancer is the Dexa scan showing I now have Osteopenia (no doubt occasioned by ADT regimen and lack of Testosterone). I’ve been told I need to get 1500 mg absorbable Calcium per day to prevent further lumbar region

Starting to consider hormonal treatment.. advice?
Hi all - I know this will be so unique to the individual and will seek help from my GP when I come to make a decision, but just trying to get a general opinion on experiences with hormonal treatment. I had my Mirena coil taken out two years ago when I was diagnosed as it was not sitting properly due
