Feeling So Frustrated
Hi Everyone.....I'm dealing with severe insomnia that's been going on for at least 6 weeks. I'm taking clonazepam and supplements from my doc, but they don't really help that much. Last week I started an 8 week program on line called "Put Insomnia to Bed." I'm just finishing week 1, which was mostly

Has my Sertraline stopped working?
I have been on Sertraline for depression for 2 years. I was put on 100mg and it seemed to help, I began to feel like my old self again. My dose was gradually lowered down to 50mg. But towards the end of last year….things started to unravel. I got married last October and I wasn’t the slightest excited

Gleason Score 5+5
My gleason score is 5+5 =10. I watched Dr.Scholtz's talk who mentioned 5+5 case is rare and I happened to be one of them. My problems are like a full truck and wonder if that is the reason why my PSA remains above 7 after RP. Cancerous cell seems have spread to lymphnodes as i heard it prodcues PSA

Xtandi (enzalutamide) +ADT slows metastases in recurrent men
We recently saw that ADT+Erleada (apalutamide) slows progression compared to ADT alone. https://www.prostatecancer.news/2022/09/short-term-androgen-annihilation-in-non.html Now we have proof that ADT+Xtandi (enzalutamide) slows the appearance of metastases and delays castration resistance in recurrent

Firmagon Injection gone bad!
Husband got his first hormone injection yesterday to begin treatment which will include 45 Radiation Therapy sessions. He got the first shot, everything seemed ok, got the second shot and BP dropped like a rock. Could not wake him up. They called 911 took him to the hospital. He is home and doing OK

I’m about 4 stone overweight and want to lose it. It’s not actually that I CANT lose it, but as soon as I do (

Alone
I go to group therapy and for me it's like torture. I am socially anxious and being in a group is making my mind spin. I feel so alone and not worthy of getting help. I feel like i'm such a loser. I feel that people only put up with me. I was teased and belittled in my childhood and it feels like

A New Direction
After seven years of fighting this disease with chemo, radiation, ADT, and abiraterone, I suffer from fatigue, nerve damage and paralysis and nerve pain in my left foot from radiation treatment, as well as depression, and a constant feeling of uncertainty. However, I am now free to let go of the life

Looking for others who have had a hysterectomy with ovaries removed in their 30s - to get your experiences
Hi all, I'm looking for personal experiences of those who had a hysterectomy with ovaries removed in their 30s. Little about me and why I'm asking. I have been diagnosed with adenomyosis and endometriosis. Had a laparoscopy with removal of some endometriosis in May 22, also had the marina coil fitted

Back on ADT
Restarted ADT 3/15/23 with my Lupron shot followed quickly with Xtandi 160mg daily. My PSA peaked to 3.36 on 3/7/23 and then 4/3/23 1.65 5/1/23 .34 So hoping the trend continues downward. Not sure if a slow or quick drop is better on recurrence. My RO said, when asked, "lower is better". Its getting

I just began the Eclipse Clinical Trial and will be posting my experiences here. Please share yours too.
I live in Southern California, but applied for acceptance into the Eclipse Trial in Miami Florida. The criteria was that I had to be castrate resistant and failed at first generation ADT, as well as second generation ADT. Plus that I had to have a minimum PSA of 2.0 with two consecutive rises one week

Periods started back up again.
Hiah,Yesterday I started my menstrual cycle after a year of not having one due to taking the deceptoyl Injection and hrt. I had surgery in December and stage 3 was removed. I finished the injection and hrt in Feb and my period had only just come back. This time it has been different, the pain is there
