eGFR down 14% since starting ADT
I just noticed that my estimated GFR which measures kidney health is down from 89 in October to 77 in June 2023. In October I started Lupron. Does Lupron impact kidney health? This is something I want to keep track off. Mark

Advice on Thyroid results?
Hi all, my first post. I've had symptoms of hypothyroidism for several (6-7) years including extreme fatigue, weight gain (now 2 stone heavier), depression, achy muscles - I used to be so fit and healthy and now everything feels like a huge effort. Had several tests over the years for TSH and T4

How to get bladder to hold urine again? Bladder training?
Looking for guidance from others who have had to regain bladder function. I had a bad case of Radiation Cystitis along with hemorrhagic bleeding that sent me to the hospital multiple times for blocked urine flow due to clots, the last time being end of Jan 2023. After 20 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen

Can Endo cause leukocytes to appear in your urine?
Hi you lovely lot! I’m 35 and was diagnosed with endometriosis last year. It’s nice to meet you. I had emergency surgery last year to remove an endometrioma that was discovered in hospital as I was unwell. During the laparoscopy it was found that all my pelvic organs were very inflamed and swollen

Hello Not sure where to start. I had some blood tests done through Blue Horizon because of many symptoms I thought were hyperthyroidism. I had, two years ago, finally managed to get my weight just above 9 stone. Then over the course of a month went down to 8 stone 4. Drenching night sweats were awful

ideal biochemistry monitoring
question: I know that there are protols for regular blood PSA and sometimes Testosterone when on SOC following RT and during the 2-3 years ADT (with localised high risk G9-10). My excellent ONC does a full biochemistry every 3 months with a face to face meeting which is great, but I will have to

Any informed opinions on NMN or NAMPT for advanced Pca - on ADT, no mets yet? Thanks! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4537380/
This question arose based on the advocacy of NMN by Harvard longevity doctor David Sinclair. He's the author of Lifespan: Why We Age - and Why We Don't Have To" Any known or postulated contraindications in taking NMN for advanced PCa? https://www.google.com/search?q=david+sinc%3Bair+youtube&oq=david

GUIDANCE trial
Hi All, I'm about to start treatment with SBRT in about 3 weeks after getting SpaceOAR placed, and I've been enrolled in the GUIDANCE trial designed to attempt vessel sparing and avoid nerve bundles. I'm in the low Decipher score group (0.34), but there is still a 50% chance that I'll have to do ADT

QOL Post- Thank you KALIBER!
I was chatting with Kali several months ago after I was considering selling the scooter, fearing the loss of strength due to ADT would be an issue picking this 800+ lb machine back up if I ever lost my footing at a stoplight or something... I bought this brand new in 1982 when I was 27 yrs old. Kali

Catabolic Wasting, Cachexia and Sarcopenia - Life Extension Foundation, Section Update: 03/2021
As most men with PCa are oldER and may be on some form of testosterone-blocking treatment, like ADT, odds are they are also struggling with the muscle-wasting and weight issues that comes with both oldER age and loss of T. This article from LEF is a very comprehensive overview of both Cachexia and Sarcopenia
