Asking for best guess info
As I've written, my husband stopped all treatment this past July after Lupron/Xtandi were causing worsening SEs while PSA was doubling/tripling from undetectable. He's now receiving palliative care and just had his first comprehensive bloodwork since the MO's on June 30. At that time his PSA registered

The good doctor
I had a GP appointment this morning (double appointment) for a Medication Review. I haven’t had one since pre-Covid when I lived in a different part of the country. I crept into the surgery with fear in my heart as I prepared to explain the ins and outs of NDT. OH came with me as I was in the middle

Brother's numbers since ADT plus Orchiectomey since diagnosed in February
Hi folks. I've been reading daily posts here since February when my brother was diagnosed with metastatic PC in February after a reading of 367.8 PSA. Thanks for all the good information! Cancer is in his skull, ribs, lymth nodes, and spine. He had one ADT injection right away and opted for an Orchiectomey

Can't find proper thyroid medication
Hi all, I've tried almost all thyroid medications under the sun, NDT, T4 only (tirosint, synthroid, euthyrox), T4 + T3, T3 only, NDT + T4. And no matter what I still have lingering symptoms despite all my levels being optimal ( TSH, free T4 and free T3). My vitamins are all optimal as well (vtiamin

ipp and salvage radiation
Rp on july of 22 for gleason 3+4 with psa of 16. PT3b, pN1 with negative margins and 2 of 11 lymph nodes involved. I took a nomogram online and came out 75% likely for recurrence. My first psa post op was .02, then .03, .04, .04, .05 in late august- so I've crossed line #1. Which is a bummer but not

Amiriodone & NDT update
So I was put on Amiodarone post heart surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago. I thought it was a three week course but it's not. Now on 200mg per day for the next few months . And yes I think it's messing my thyroid hormones up. I did protest over taking it...due to its high iodine content and contrary indications.

confused about supplements and certain foods
greetings I’m trying to get some clarity on what I can eat and take as supplements. My PSA is currently undetectable but clearly with ADT I’m trying to build or keep as much muscle as possible. I take creatine would like to add bcaa/lucene and glutamine. Any issues here? Also I tend to consume a

wondering if traction for back is advised while on ADT
my nutty question, I have a back stretcher and it will pull vertebrae apart. U can do same by lying flat on a table gradually pulling yourself forward till abdomen and chest are perpendicular to floor and arms touching. Try at your own risk. I am not a doctor just an orthopedic nightmare with hundreds

Castration resistant in just a year? Normal or not? Provenge in my future.
I'm already "mildly symptomatic castration resistant." PSA tripled in the last 30 days (but still extremely low), after doubling in the prior 3 months. I was diagnosed with stage 4b (mets in multiple bones and nodes) ductal and started ADT 13 months ago. Nubeqa and Docetaxel (Triplet therapy) started

Dr Georgina Conway or any other recommendations?
Dear Friends, Please could anyone PM me any thoughts on Georgina Conway or any other good options for a sympathetic endocrinologist. I have given up with the NHS and want to try T3 or NDT if it is deemed appropriate. If it were possible to find someone who would treat me initially privately and then

please can someone advise?
I’ve posted here a few times of late, been feeling rough and exhausted since switching from Levo to Erfa 5 weeks ago. I’ve emailed the private doctor to get some advice as to whether the dose is correct she put me on. She’s said my question re doseage isn’t easy to answer and also she charges £20 for

T3 only
Hi all, I was just curious, those on T3 only, how did you go about switching to T3 only, what dose do you take and do you feel much better than on levo? This is the only thing I haven't tried other than NDT. Just thinking about it. Thank you.

Ugg, can we talk erections
So, even with Cialis I am having issues getting erect and certainly having an orgasm. Some questions for the group: 1. How much of this is the hormone therapy? Meaning, likely by now (more than 2mths on ADT) my testo has dropped very very far right? 2. Why doesnt Cialis help? 3. What is my outcome

IVF medication following BFP for those with POF?
Hi everyone Hoping to find a consensus re: dates of stopping hormone treatment for those with premature ovarian failure going through IVF. Recently thrilled to get a BFP following D5 DE FET (still early days, only 4.5 weeks along). My clinic seem to adopt a 'one-size fits all' approach and stops progesterone

Provenge criteria necessary for acceptance.
Apparently Medicare will pay for Provenge provided we are castrate resistant and metastatic. But are there other requirements like certain PSA parameters and lower testosterone levels? Do we have to remain on ADT while being treated with Provenge?

Radiation treatment for gynecomastia? Anyone?
As we all know, ADT treatments can cause a side effect known as gynecomastia. I am experiencing gynecomastia after being on Orgovyx and am considering the radiation treatment for it. Has anyone out there done the radiation treatment for gynecomastia? How did it work out for you? Did you experience
