changing from Armour to levo
Hi all I take armour thyroid and have done for over 10 yrs now. I was originally prescribed this by a private doctor but further down the rd I found a way to buy Armour myself so I self medicate. I test my levels regularly (probably every 4-6 months) and I’ve felt in a good place for years. That’s

Any Data or MO Advice Regarding Dutasteride / Finasteride At Very Early Biochemical Recurrence?
Does anyone know of any studies or MO advice they've gotten regarding use of Dutasteride or Finasteride at very early signs of Biochemical Reccurrence (uPSA in the 0.03 - 0.1 range) prior to Salvage Radiotherapy? It's obviously going to slow PSA doubling time and thereby probably lengthen the time

PSA Response From Broccoli Sprout Extract (Sulforaphane) May Due To Just Being Moderate ADT
I forgot I ran across this a 2 years ago as many with PCa diagnosis are very interested in Sulforaphane due to a lot of excitement from a few studies a few years ago. (This fueled an explosion of supplements on Amazon.) This however is one of the more expensive supplements and my jury is still out

Book about red light therapy
Could anyone recommend such a book? I bought a red light lamp some time ago, but haven't really got into using it. Apparently it can be used for mood as well as pain, which is interesting. The light also frightens me a bit, though it is meant not to be harmful to the eyes.

Stratification test for ADT effectiveness
As someone who has had the awful experience of ADT side effects, I give this tool a standing ovation: https://artera.ai/arteraai-prostate-cancer-test Just approved for Medicare coverage, and just a matter of time before California and New York join the other 48 states in approving it.

Has anyone taken a non-medication route and seen an improvement in their osteoporosis through only supplements/diet/exercise?
Hello, I have osteoporosis and been advised to take medication - either HRT or Alendronate. However, I as an alternative wondered whether anyone who is not on medication has seen an improvement in their osteoporosis through only supplements/diet/exercise?

What is the next step
I have one more Immunotherapy for my bladder cancer, so far all scan have shown no metastasis. Now I need to focus on my PC after more than a year of ignoring it. My PSA has been fluctuating and is now 0.65, doubling time is 16 months, I have not had ADT yet and my MO wants to just wait and watch. What

Follow up to "My trajectory after a 'vacation' and a new metastasis," and a new question
I though that the recommendation of the "tumor board" at Smilow Cancer Center in New Haven, CT, would be "doublet therapy" to treat the new metastasis that was found with a PET PSMA scan, (the second one that was found after my Lupron "vacation"; the first was treated with radiation--details of my case

Low appetite
Hi, undiagnosed but strongly suspect hypo possibly Hashi and gathering info/signs etc. Started supplements for folate, vit d (with k) and b complex just about to start magnesium too. On HRT including DHEA. So, my appetite has been on the wane, probably since menopause and thyroid problems began.

Hello everyone, This 73 year old treated an unfavorable intermediate localized PCa with 28 fractions of proton radiation, completed on Dec. 15th. Completed a 4 months course of oral Orgovyx on Dec. 28th. The side effects of the ADT were hot flashes (tolerable) and loss of libido. The side effects

PiP - Aids being 'prescribed'
This appears to be coming up a few times from reading previous posts regarding PiP claims. People who have bought their own aids to facilitate an easier existence are being told they cannot count as proof of either disability/change in disability, because they have not been 'prescribed' by the GP. Yet

Will T return?
As I near the end of my 2 years of ADT (Lupron + Abi), I am curious if I should expect a return of Testosterone. I would love to regain my libido and endurance. But after 2 years, I don't know what to expect. My MO has been pretty vague about what to expect. Another issue is that I didn't have a
