? Ashwagandha and Maca Root If Hypo
Hi.If anyone who regularly uses Ashwagandha and/or Maca Root, I would love to hear of their experience taking these. I have recently read that both Ashwagandha and Maca Root are natural ways to help rebalance hormones in menopausal women. I am not sure though, if they adversely affect thyroid meds.

Weight LOSS on ADT
Hey all. I was diagnosed with PCa Oct. 2018. After radiation, Zytiga and Lupron, my PSA dropped to no-detect, where it has stayed for the past 3+ years. All very good news, right? Yes....mostly. Though I've dealt with continuing hot flashes and fatigue, my big concern right now is weight loss. I'm normally

menopause
Decided not to take HRT as it will feed a fibroid I’ve got and also my thyroid has gone under active so need to get that to a good level. I just wanted to ask what supplements you ladies take to help with the menopause and how it’s helped you. Thanks in advance

red light therapy
I am a 75 year old male who was diagnosed with PD in November 2022. I am treating the condition with medication and have recently completed a course in BIG therapy. I have also purchased two red light therapy devices. I would be interested in hearing from others who have used red light therapy to treat

Goserelin - side effects profile variability between implants
OK, I know that living with PCa can play havoc with my relationship with reality that uncertainty is about the only sure fire certainty. So I am aware that the side effects of ADT are both real and yet also exacerbated or lessened by my mood, which of course is also subject to the impact of having

Total Hip Replacement tomorrow - yay!
So having been in a lot of pain with my right hip since last September and staving it off with injections, finally I am going into hospital tomorrow for a total hip replacement. Feeling grateful but trepidacious. Have read Dorset Lady’s tips - thank you for those - and have taken them onboard. Doing

Darolutimide as monotherapy
I know there has been a phase 2 trial (EORTC-GUCG 1532 trial) testing the efficacy of Darolutimide as monotherapy and was wondering if anyone outside of the trial has done this. The phase 2 triall seemed to show that it could be very effective in lowering PSA. Since it doesn't actually stop testosterone

On vacation!
Didn't think I would ever go on an ADT vacation. My new urologist thinks it would be a good idea since I have several SE from my MDS-RS with the worst being fatigue added to my ADT fatigue. Have been on Eligard after radiation for 3 yrs. with PSA undetectable. Am sure in my mind that the radiation

bone strength
Here’s a good detailed explanation of how exercise works to strengthen bones. I’ve always concentrated on muscle building and muscle strength and endurance, but an important part is the bone strengthening that also occurs. Even more important now that I’m on ADT. https://youtu.be/1gToyjm4NNA

Are PSMA negative mets usually castrate resistant?
I had 2 clear PSMA-PETs (at a PSA of 2 & then 4) so Dr. Scholz recommended I get an FDG PET. Low and behold 3 decent sized mets showed up. In my subsequent research it seems like all the published articles describe the PSMA negative mets as being castrate resistant. Zytiga/Lupron was effective before

and Testosterone from
438.04ng/dL
down to

🙈🙉🙊. As of July 07, 2023. How much longer do I have to wait for a more normal Testosterone Totale. I like my PSA that low but a little bit higher. Recently

So frustrated that endo told me my hypo symptoms are social, emotional and psychological
After 11 months I finally saw an endocrinology registrar to go over my blood test results and symptoms. I am on 150mcg thyroxine and 40mcg of liothyronine, after 7 years on NDT which I came off in January 2021 to return to the 'NHS way' of T4-only therapy (the price of NDT was becoming prohibitive plus

Hello everyone...
It was in August 2022 that my primary care became alarmed after my PSA returned, and it was 77 plus, that I likewise became alarmed by the fact that I must deal with prostate cancer. As a result, I tried hormone therapy for six months and thought about killing myself if I did not die first from the

Sweet!
Had 2nd of 90 days Lupron Feb 1-23 as adjuvant 6-month ADT therapy with my Salvage IMRT. First PSA test yesterday and T level. Undetectable (less than .006 uPSA) and T level of 30. Here's to hoping it stays down. I know BCR may happen over the long run with SVI, PNI, bladder neck, and surgical margins

Bupropion/Zyban/Wellbutrin and sleep?
Hello, I started 150mg over a month ago. I had sleep issues previously but now they seem to be getting worse. Psychiatrist has recently asked me to take 300mg as apparently I haven’t responded that well to 150mg. Feeling reluctant to do so. My HRT was adjusted at the same time by an endocrinologist.
