Anyone else on Metformin for T2 diabetes
I was diagnosed with UC two weeks ago and the colonoscopy brought on a flare - I think I only had rectal bleeding before. I say 'think' because about 5 weeks previously I'd been diagnosed with T2 diabetes for which I'm taking Metformin. One of the most common side effects of this drug is diarrhea so

Hello, I'm new and thought I'd introduce myself (sorry it's so long)!!
Hi, I thought I'd introduce myself! Firstly, I have insulin resistance, not diabetes, but this is the most relavent community I could find, so hope you don't mind me being here! I'm 17 and was diagnosed with a rare genetic form of insulin resistance (which sort of mimics type 2), poly cystic ovaries

Dr. Myers - Durable, Complete Prostate Cancer Remissions
Recent presentation by Dr. Myers. Interesting how important Metformin has now become in his treatments. & statins - although he seems not to prescribe if there is no cardio risk. Statins seem to have most benefit in aggressive disease, & I can't see why he would withhold their use. Men with low cholesterol

Autoschizis - A Novel Cell Death In Cancer Cells
Apatone was granted FDA approval as an orphan drug. Even though Apatone is considered a drug you can buy a supplement called ProsStay .....somehow even though Apatone is patented ProsStay is Apatone sold as an over the counter supplement. I am going to stack ProsStay, Zyflamend, Casodex, Metformin, Avodart

Aspirin
This post is prompted by a new study [B6]. I use NSAIDs maybe once or twice a year, in a bad year. I have never been tempted by prophylactic use of aspirin - even low-dose. Aspirin has been around for well over a century (since 1899), so never needed U.S. FDA approval. Some say that if it were a new

Beginning a Trial
My PCa goes back to 2007, and I had radiation in early 2008. Recurrence in late 2012 and had salvage surgery in 2013. PSA near zero, but started upward in 2015. I was referred to a medical oncologist who ordered scans and put me on a regimen of POMI-T, zyflamend, and metformin. No joy, so added Lupron

What It's Like to Be in a Lung Cancer Clinical Trial - Part Two, The Clovis Pharmaceuticals Phase II Trial for CO-1686
In February 2015 I found myself sitting by myself in a car in a parking lot, summoning the courage to read the CT scan report I had just picked up to take to my oncologist. This scan marked the six month mark in my first line treatment with Tarceva. As I read the news that my cancer was starting to grow
