Have you obtained thyroid medication without prescription? Admin need your feedback please. Both good and bad!
In an ideal world, everyone would get the thyroid medication that they need on prescription from their GP, endo. private practitioner etc. Whether that be for a short term trial, or for long term quality of life. Sadly, in the UK at least, this all too often doesn't happen. We know that members of

Pain near groin, but no PSA detected?
MyGuy is having severe pain low, just left of his groin. It’s not always there, but today it was bad for quite a while. He had a bone scan of his pelvis and an mri last June and nothing was noted. His three PSA tests since June (with the last in January) have been undetectable. When pain was mentioned

To treat or not to treat
In 2017 and 2019 I had SBRT to two bone metastases identified using a PSMA scan. No other sites were identified. By March 2020 this had caused my PSA to drop to virtually undetectable and I decided to come off ADT which I had been on (with some breaks) since April 2011 after RRP and RT to the prostate

Not reacting well to T3
Hello All, I wonder if there are people here who have not reacted well to T3? This is the second time I'm trying to take it. First time, it was about 5 years ago when I needed to raise my T3, it was at 20% range. I took just 5mcg of compounded T3 as per my Doc advice and started to feel anxious,

Interesting paper summarising state of art (2022) for ADT
The paper below gives a useful summary of the history and state of the art (2022) for ADT. No mention of BAT though. A few snippets from the paper are given below. Evolution of Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) and Its New Emerging Modalities in Prostate Cancer: An Update for Practicing Urologists

Beat Prostate Cancer
I was reading some clinical trial data the other day. To summarize, the treatment being tested did not pass muster. It worked marginally better than standard of care but not well enough to change standard of care. The irony of the study concerned overall survival and progression free survival. The control

Any Advice On Dosing NDT?
I've started Armour thyroid. My first dose I take at 7.30am (on waking) and have breakfast 9-9.30am (a late breakfast because I benefit from doing a 14 hour intermittent fasting window). My doctor advises I take my second dose of NDT 2-3pm. But if I need to have an empty stomach when I take the

Reliable Thyroid S suppliers please.
As per rules please only message by chat. I'm wanting to try NDT my current T4 +T3 regime isn't working and my suppressed TSH causes stress with GP and Endo. Thanks in advance.

NDT, atrial fibrillation, and a self-proclaimed 'thyroid guru' in hospital pushing the T4 and TSH narrative
Whilst I was an inpatient with atrial fibrillation, and had spiked a high T3 reading and caused panic in the heart unit about my use of Natural Dessicated Pork Thyroid (NDT) medication (prescribed by my GP who was on holidays), to reassure my cardiologist (who really cared) I agreed to see a consultant

I survived

PSA Rising While on ADT and Abiraterone
I started Abiraterone in November 2022 and my PSA was 3.83. Over the last few months it dropped to 2.71, 2.50 and then 3.02 and now 3.28. Does this mean I am not responding to the Abiraterone any longer. I have only been on it for 3.5 months. Am I doing something that is interfering with the drug.

Input Needed.
Hi, Looking for some communal input from this knowledgeable forum. First, some bullet point history to help fine tune the responses: • I was diagnosed with advanced stage, mPC in mid-2020. I have a rare type of PC that does not exhibit elevated PSA. It’s very aggressive and difficult to treat. My PSA

ASCO 23 - Transdermal square-wave testosterone therapy
This might interest followers of BAT. As you no doubt know, Denmeade's BAT cycle is a 28-day modulation of testosterone [T] from ~2,000 ng/dL down to near castrate. The BAT cycle typically begins with a T-cypionate injection into muscle. In the new pilot study, T was delivered daily, transdermally

Duration of ADT needed with salvage radiation
6 months? 24 months? New data from the "Formula 509" trial shows that hormone intensification with adjuvant apalutamide+abiraterone+ADT for just 6 months with salvage radiation therapy (SRT) may be all that's needed: https://www.prostatecancer.news/2023/02/duration-of-adt-needed-with-salvage.html
