Natural desiccated thyroid (NDT)

I’m 19 months into ADT (Lupron) following open RP and 38 rounds of radiation last summer. All treatments or for Gleason 9 (5/4) PC that had spread outside the prostate. A few weeks ago I started getting loose bowels, incontinence and blood in my urine. My urologist thought I had radiation cause cancer

Hi, I`m not doing very well on levothyroxine and would like to try/switch to natural desiccated thyroid. Please would anyone who knows where I can buy some inbox me with the details please. That would be great! Many thanks

Had intermediate grade PC no spread, had SBRT. Three months out my Psa is .03. Am on Lupron for the fourth month out of a projected 12 month stint. Do docs ever say, six or nine months is enough? Testosterone at 6 right now.

Hi Does anyone have information on whether one can receive cortisone shots for various injuries unrelated to PC without adversely impacting one’s ADT treatment? I am in physical therapy for an injured shoulder and recently had a cortisone shot and forgot to consult my MO before receiving it. I was

Throughout my life as an athlete, I have always worked out and continue to do so. I have also always tended to run hot and sweat a lot. I am now 15 months into ADT and hot flashes have been epic. Every 1 to 2 hours - full body flop sweats for 3-5 minutes. I have gone to wearing black shirts so it

Tossing and turning in bed at night, daytime sleepiness, ... ?

just had full blood test before I press on with ADT aiming for 18 months and done 9 months adjuvant with RT for G9 - as posted before my oncologist seems to lean to me stopping ADT now as worries about the effect in my polio - though she isn’t a polio expert of course, she just thinks the extra gain

Randomly, an old friend who takes NDT got in touch around this time and feeling desperate and in need of some meds to adjust my dose myself, I ordered NDT from abroad.

Docs want me to take hip xrays ... I am healing well 7 months post IMRT 20 TX now . no major Urinary and rectal issues. Worried that hip xrays may effect my recovery. I know it's not much radiation but I am doing so well...dont want to "POKE THE BEAR"... Thanks JWS All thoughts welcome!!! 62 20

I had 7=4+3 prostate cancer PSA=5.4 with a Gleason of 0.7. MRI showed the tumor had not compromised the wall of the prostate. It was an aggressive cancer genetically and was at stage three. Bad news but apparently ample margin for victory. I had ADT from 7/22 till 12/22 and received Proton beam therapy

Recent bloodwork shows a low iron problem accross several measures. PCP says to take ferrous gluconate. I remember iron discussions from a previous site in which heme iron was recommended for its better absorption, though ferrous gluconate is superior to some other forms in terms of absorption. I

NDT and blood test timing

I started using Armour NDT one and a half grains daily for the last 7 weeks and for the last week I’ve had a REALLY itchy rash on my chest just below my throat and it’s creeping to my neck.

Hiya, I am on a private prescription of NDT, one and three quarter grains a day. I started in September and it has been life changing. My latest prescription of NDT was delivered last week by error to next door whilst they were out and then taken to a post office quite far away.

In a previous post my daughter AppleTree43 posted a query about radiotherapy. I have prostate cancer with local and some distant nodes in the back. Tall Allen told her all are within dimensions used for NRG Oncology. Mo at Kaiser and second opinion from UCSF are hopeful radiotherapy of prostate, local

So currently take Levo, NDT, and T3 all at once at bedtime. Usually about 10pm. I do blood tests around 7:30am. Do I need to change anything before my next lot of. Looks please?

For those who have had proton therapy, what was your timeline? What period of time elapsed after you began ADT and had the simulation? And then, how long after that did the actual therapy begin? I've been reading and can't seem to determine a timeline, other than one guy wrote that he had the simulation

Dad diagnosed mid 60s after emergency admittance as he couldn't piss, had prostate removed and radiotherapy, presumably to pelvic area etc. but not sure, he died 15 yrs later with advanced pc. Brother had psa of 10 at age 59 and dre revealed some abnormality, biopsy revealed pc and he had 20 sessions
