History of continued low and fluctuating iron levels - advice?
hi folks. Just had my latest bloods back from helpful GP (he’s actually happy for me to sort my thyroid with Roseway! TSH barely exists) My iron is pretty abysmal tho .. Last time i had my transferrin saturation index done it was 40% so bang on mid way. January I think it was. It’s now dropped to19%

Ped5i/Tadalafil etc as a benefit to SE of ADT?
Tadalafil , etc is prescribed for ED, BPH and PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertension). It is pretty much agreed upon that Tadalafil increases insulin sensitivity thus improving lean body mass, particularly around the gut, improves Testosterone/estrogen relationship and is good for heart and vascular health

Forgetfulness on ADT
Are there any ways to help with the side effect of forgetfulness / mild cognitive impairment while on ADT? My Dad (stage 4 PC) started on ADT 2 only months ago, but there have been a few moments of mild cognitive impairment since starting - forgetting shopping list, trying to return stuff at the wrong

Vitamins with ADT?
Hi Tall_Allen, You do not recommend vitamins when on ADT? I am on daily Casodex, has been for several years, and I am taking - Multivitamins, C-, D-, K- vitamins and magnesium daily. Should I stop this? Can you elaborate a bit on why you do not recommend taking vitamins? Thanks in advance!

Disgusted with Healthcare
I had to request my PCP to do a PSA as it wasn't standard practice. I had to call the urologist, who I originally saw, after I joined this board and knew I should be starting ADT, even though they hadn't two months after my scans showed Stage IV. I saw the surgeon even though it was Stage IV and wasn't

Low Testosterone Linked With Mortality Risk in Aging Men - by Jeff Minerd , Contributing Writer, MedPage Today May 13, 2024
No way to know if this is applicable to those on ADT, but it would seem to be relevant for consideration. The highlighted portion is a useful guide on male sex hormone targets for those testing them. These results might also add support for Morgentaler's [i]"Saturation Model"[/i] for testosterone. Full

Compression fracture or something worse?
Hello! My dad has been battling stage four prostate cancer for nearly nine years. He's done remarkably well, all things considered. He's had chemo, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, radiation, and second line hormone therapy. Along the way he has had heart issues and also CNS lymphoma (brain cancer).

Penis after metastatic prostrate cancer and hormonal treatment
HelloI was diagnosed in September 2022. Was immediately put on ADT hormonal treatment. Had radiation to the prostrate and radiation to the spine where it spread. My issue is penis shrinkage. Because of the hormonal treatment I have issues with getting with errections. Also was told by many fellow journeymen

Liothyronine (LT3) prescribing in England: Are cost constraints inhibiting guideline implementation?
Whatever else, this demonstrates beyond any doubt that the cost of the liothyronine Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient is but a minor part of the price charged to the NHS. I'd argue that the simple fact that the NHS agrees these prices strongly suggests something VERY wrong with medicines procurement.

Stopping Orgovyx after six months
My brother has PCa as well. We keep it in the family... He had a PT ten years ago but his PSA rose so he got salvage radiation and went on Orgovyx. His MO said he would be on it for 18 months, as is SOC. He didn't like his MO so he switched to a GU MO. That MO said the research showed six months of ADT

Rise in psa
I had rp in 2021 with recurrence 12 months later to 1 lymph node. RT to 9lymph nodes and zoladex hormone therapy for 18 months. Psa has been undetectable for 12 months but just rose to 0.03. Do I need to wait until it rises to 2.0 as I've seen advice before or is there a more proactive approach? Thanks

Internet Myths about Red Meat
I know that many men, egged on by well-meaning caregivers and sometimes doctors, deprive themselves of red meat. Some (non-Hindus) have an almost religious attachment to plant-based diets. I expect they will object to this article. For that reason, it goes into the weeds of what constitutes Internet

Strong negative reaction to first Docetaxel treatment
I am participating in an NIH study combining Docetaxel with an immunotherapy. I had my first treatment of only Docetaxel this Tuesday. I lasted 2 minutes and 7cc before I had a severe reaction - severe flushing (glowing red from head to toe), difficulty breathing, sweating, uncontrollable shivering.

New research. Linking Amiodarone inhibiting levothyroxine just published.
I'm a little staggered this is new!! But it is.... And I've experienced a lot of problems with ndt tolerance level even 7 months since Amiodarone was stopped. Beginning to wonder whether Amiodarones had a permenant effect. In Vivo Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetic Interaction between Levothyroxine
