Apologies in advance for the long post After a bit of a battle with Rheumatology I had a Pet scan back in February that was suggestive of mild PMR They had previously diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia at the age of 51 as I was far to young for PMR and my blood work was unremarkable I was given 15mg of Pred

Constipation caused by pelvic floor dysfunction
I have been diagnosed with obstructive defecation syndrome (pelvic floor dysfunction) from a proctogram - I’ve been given physiotherapy and it hasn’t worked. I’ve asked to be referred for biofeedback and my doctor says they won’t do anything else. Does anyone have any advice? It’s severely impacting

Radiation for Salvage Treatment
I am about to start salvage treatment after a failed surgery and a rising PSA value of 0.1. However, I would like to know if weeks of external radiation with ADT, is the best treatment option here. The idea of blindly radiating pelvic area with a re-recurrence a few years later does not appeal to me.

Radiation
I had the standard IMRT for my pca back in 2013. I was told it was a lifetime dose. Is that true with the newer forms of radiation treatment?

Anyone with PSP-PAGF
I am from India and new to this association. My husband age 69 was diagnosed (mis?) as Parkinson's patient in 2019. He was having speech issues and slow movements Last month, he started freezing and can only walk with baby steps. Consulted a movement disorder specialist who diagnosed it as PSP-PAGF.

Update on my father
I just wanted to post a quick update on my father. He has metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. He’s been on ADT - Eligard shots every 3 months and prednisone + zytiga everyday. It’s challenging as I work with him and see all the ins and outs of his behaviour while on those meds. He remains

Met with Radiation Oncologist
Met with radiation oncologist today. His recommendation was Cyberknife, no ADT. He did say that if I felt more comfortable with surgery that there was an "amazing" surgeon within 100 miles that he would recommend. I liked the guy, he has been doing Cyberknife for years and felt that with a co-existing

Firmagon vs Lupron vs Orgovyxx
Is there any difference in cost/effectiveness? My urologist wanted me to start hormone therapy with Firmagon, but my radiation oncologist wanted me to go on Orgovyxx instead...any thoughts? Thank you!

Left atrial enlargement
Hello!I was wondering if anyone has experience of this. What can be done about it, is it reversible with optimal levo?
