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.

Short-term vs Long-Term ADT for High Risk Men
Here's a review of a recent presentation at ASCO 2023 by Artera.ai regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence analysis of biopsy slides to predict which high-risk men do or don't benefit from short-term ADT vs long-term ADT. Their findings are summarized here: [i]"Based on these results, it appears

Managing OAB after proton RT
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

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

PSA 6 months after RT
Here is a review of a presentationby Dr. Ravi at ASCO 2023, regarding measuring the PSA at 6 months post radiation treatment, for all risk groups. He found that the 6-month post-RT PSA was highly prognostic of 5- and 10-year rates of metastasis free survival (MFS), Overall Survival (OS), and prostate

Testosterone was nearly back to normal, then dropped
I had a year of Lupron and Enzalutamide in 2022. Testosterone slowly came back to a high of about 240 in June and Sept 2023. Normal for me is around 350 - 375. Now this week T is down to 156. Is this sort of fluctuation normal? I had 6 months of ADT in connection with radiation for recurrent PCa

Latest reults
hi I’ve just had my latest thyroid panel results, numbers seem slightly better for antibodies but still higher than they should. Ft4 & Ft3 slightly higher than last time but still not optimal? B12 and vit D is a work in progress. Ferritin is edging out of optimal towards high end, not sure what this

Holding very low stable usPSA - 0.03X range for six years; no ADT, no chemo.
Eight years ago this month had RP after considerable investigation - nadir 0.050. Eleven months later had salvage RT; done at 0.10. Then after a year of pondering ADT and chemo, when my usPSA was back up to 0.10, I went to Europe for Ferrotran nano-MRI combined with Ga68 PSMA. The nanoMRI lite up

Blood test prep
Hi, Please can someone remind me what I need to stop taking before thyroid blood tests are carried out? I’m currently taking HRT transdermal oestrogen, DHEA tablets and progesterone tablets. I also started taking b vit complex, methylated folate, niacinimide, omega oils. I’m undiagnosed currently

Are Lymph nodes a filter?
Do lymph nodes simply act as a temporary filter to prevent cancer from spreading too far? I was curious about this because I have 4th stage prostate cancer, and my Lymph had swelled to the size of a golfball. When I took the ADT, my PSA went from 1000, down to 6, and all evidence of cancer disappeared

Recovery of Testosterone
We all have heard about how long it takes to recover testosterone after you stop ADT. You probably also heard how age affects recovery time. The older you are the longer it takes and the T may never recover. The type of ADT you take can also affect recovery time - shot versus pill. I am 78 and I have
