Night Sweats and Insomnia
Hi. I'm 67 and started the menopause around 50. Most of my symptoms have settled down but I suffer badly from insomnia and still have phases of hot sweats (both in the day and night) . Even when I don't have sweats I have what I can only describe as hormone surges at night (this is what it feels like

Zytiga or Erleda
When adding second line hormone treatment do MO’s add zytiga first and Erleda later or does it matter what order? Thanks and Happy Monday!

"Undetectable"
We hear the term of "undetectable" with a psa of < .1 used so often. When I was first diagnosed and had an RALP I bought into the use of this theory. As the months clicked by and I was "undetectable" I was slowly gaining confidence and reassurance that this was true. Eight months later a .1 shattered

Brain Fog and ADT
Let's say, just stretching the imagination, that since testosterone is necessary for cognitive function, ADT, in lowering testosterone, lowers brain function to some degree. But in my case, ADT does not bring T to zero. I seem to have a T reading of around 12 or so in spite of the ADT. But some more

My discussion with chatGPT about senescence in PC induced by radiation and chemotherapy.
Q. Can adt cause senescence? A. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) primarily aims to reduce or block male hormones like testosterone that fuel prostate cancer growth. While ADT can significantly shrink tumors and lead to remission in many cases, it does not directly cause cellular senescence. However

Do not trust your first bone scan
If you are diagnosed with prostate cancer and get a bone scan, this will often reveal a few bone metastases. Then your MO will give you the verdict: lifelong ADT. Usually you will not get radiation or surgery of the prostate because the tumor has already spread. However, there is a study by Dr. Thomas

Nausea when I stop Utrogestan
Hi I'm really struggling, I've been on HRT for about a year and a half. Estrogel and utrogestan. In January I started to experience extreme nausea as soon as I stopped the 2 weeks of 200mg Utrogestan. It became so debilating that my GP referred me to the women's health clinic. The doctor there said as

2 spots
I was undetected for a year after pelvic radiation then my PSA went up to .04 so we did a PSMA scan and discovered 2 spots, although one was on a rib. My PSA was .36 so the spots were radiated. I am having a slight pain in the area where the rib is located. My PSA has gone down to .26 so it’s moving

PSA rising on Triplet Therapy after <18m
Hi all. Hope you are keeping your spirits high. This is a follow up to a post I made in 2022 about my father. I haven't posted since, which reflects the period of relative normalcy that followed the commencement of ADT (triplet therapy) at MSK. I want to pause to appreciate that since I know most of
