No Periods
Hi there - I'm new to Verity. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was about 16 years old over 12 years old now. My main symptom is I don't get periods very often. I usually get one maybe once every year but my most recent one was about 2 years ago. I don't take any medication as the doctors I have seen

Recent blood test
My last blood test has shown that I'm now anemic. I'm currently taking Lupron Xtandi Avodart & Metformin. No recommendation from my oncologist how to deal with the condition.

Another step done
I am so very relieved! I am on Metformin just two weeks and it is nothing exciting but I had my period starting today and that is actually a huge relief. My last period I had in October last year, and before I have to admit I was not very bothered that I didn't have my period. It was in a way nice not

Metabolic syndrome [MetS], C-reactive protein [CRP] ... levels & clinically significant PCa
New study from Spain below. Three of my favorite PCa subjects (they also looked at testorsterone [T] as well as MetS & CRP, but there is no mention of their T findings in the Abstract, so T was presumably not positively associated.) "A total of 524 patients were analysed, being 195 (37.2%) subsequently

Metformin Inhibits Prostate Cancer Progression by Targeting Tumor-Associated Inflammatory Infiltration
New study. I'd like to point out that a mouse study should not be rejected out of hand because it is not a human study. "Purpose: Inflammatory infiltration plays important roles in both carcinogenesis and metastasis. We are interested in understanding the inhibitory mechanism of metformin on tumor-associated

Aspirin, metformin and propranolol
Below I have copied a letter to the British Medical Journal in 2012 by a Scottish doctor whose name I did not keep. It was a response to an editorial on findings about aspirin and cancer. It may be of interest to some of our correspondents. Re: Aspirin and cancer prevention Reply to BMJ Editorial of

16 years with metastatic prostate cancer - latest news
When I put up my last post, I expected the follow-up to be fairly straightforward - you know, radium 223 has worked a bit, but only a bit, and I’m moving onto something else/PSMA targeting/immunotherapy. But, that hasn’t really happened. The prostate cancer had other ideas. I’ll come to that, but first

Should I lose hope?
So went for my follow up outpatient appointment a couple of weeks ago and we were expecting to receive my partners sperm test results but hospital hadn’t received them back from the clinic. My consultant prescribed a further 3 months of clomid paired with metformin as I had showed signs of ovulation

neon orange urine
Good afternoon friends, Has anyone taken or taken metformin had the neon orange urine? I do not think it's a liver because the stools are normal. In fact, I'm not sure it's metformin, although it coincidentally coincides with when my husband started taking it. Or if there is someone who has happened
