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

In hospital take ndt
Hi. Just a question regarding hospital stays and taking unprescribed ndt. I am probably going to be in hospital soon and am wondering what the heck to do about my thyroid s. I ended up in A&E with chest pains and was put on a ward where they took my antibiotics off me and put them in a locked cupboard

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

Frequency of testing
Hello all,I'm sure this has been answered 100 times, but I'm having difficulty finding the information. My question is how quickly do TSH, T3, and T4 numbers react to a change of medication dose. 8 weeks? 12 weeks? Does TSH react more quickly than T3 and T4? I ask specifically because 6 weeks ago

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

Spine metastasis
My father in law is 78 year old male with PCA with what appears to be a single spine metastasis. Gleason 7 ( 4+3) We have an appointment coming up with the radiation oncologist . Is this something they would get a PSMA TEST for to confirm and also would he just receive ADT with radiation to primary site

Working with Stage IV
First time posting (be gentle) Anybody else still at work with the disease. I’ve contributed to a pension for 24 years, and with being diagnosed, am I being foolish staying at work. Note-minimum retirement is 58 at my work. Also, did read this right, ADT only gives about 10 mos. to 1 year increase

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
