Is my recovery typical or more novel
I had 7=4+3 prostate cancer PSA=5.4 with a Gleason of 0.7. MRI showed the tumor had not compromised the wall of the prostate. It was an aggressive cancer genetically and was at stage three. Bad news but apparently ample margin for victory. I had ADT from 7/22 till 12/22 and received Proton beam therapy

Heme iron versus ferrous gluconate
Recent bloodwork shows a low iron problem accross several measures. PCP says to take ferrous gluconate. I remember iron discussions from a previous site in which heme iron was recommended for its better absorption, though ferrous gluconate is superior to some other forms in terms of absorption. I

Dr Antony Toft Thyroid specialist re treating some patients with combi of T3 to their Levo can somebody send me the link please
Hi All, I have a GP call today on the back of a pretty scathing consultant F/u letter, with the aim to get me off NDT (agreed by previous Consultant) to raise my TSH by giving me a lower dose of Levo. An all too familiar story I know. That said this is a new GP who possibly knows very little about DIO2

cholesterol levels for thyroid people
Hi Peeps I was wondering if you could enlighten me a bit about cholesterol if you’re a ( treated ) hypothyroid person . I’ll give you a bit of background… I had been on plant sterols ( natural statins ) for a couple of years with no adverse effects , until June this year when I started getting

Proton Therapy timeline question
For those who have had proton therapy, what was your timeline? What period of time elapsed after you began ADT and had the simulation? And then, how long after that did the actual therapy begin? I've been reading and can't seem to determine a timeline, other than one guy wrote that he had the simulation

Radiation
I had the standard IMRT for my pca back in 2013. I was told it was a lifetime dose. Is that true with the newer forms of radiation treatment?

Do you try to keep your diagnosis private?
My wife has been a wonderful companion through my diagnosis and recent hospitalization from sepsis due to my 2nd biopsy. She almost lost me but I have returned to vigor and preparing for this journey through radiation and ADT next month. However, because I still work and am at a point where my business

T3 brands available on private prescription in the U.K.
Good afternoon everyone, Hope you are all as well as can be. I see a private endocrinologist who prescribes my NDT and T3. Currently, the T3 brand is Thybon Henning - reasonably priced. I keep it on my prescription for ‘emergencies’ because when I transitioned to Thybon from Grossman Cynomel

NDT has raised my thyroid anti-bodies. What's next?
Hi All, As I just made a post with my update on NDT (good T3 and T4 levels, but TSH is 0.017, so too low), I received my latest anti-bodies results. And they went up! I've heard some people shared how their anti-bodies went up as well on NDT. Yes, I'm on a gluten-free, whole food diet, been on

Taken off NDT
Hi there, my friend who has been well on NDT for many years now, has been taken off it by the endo who says he is no longer able to prescribe it. She has been given Liothyronine but is not well on it, and told her 'levels' are fine. She wants to look into getting a private prescription, but from my research

What TSH level is too low on NDT + low sodium
Hi All, I switched to NDT 6 weeks ago and have been dialing in my dose. I take Erfa NDT. I raised it up to 1 3/4 tablets, and have just tested my thyroid. I've read a lot of discussions here about NDT and TSH and from what I understand, from this big study when TSH gets lower than 0.3, it increases

Questions about protocol changes regarding ADT from 2nd opinion.
I was diagnosed with PC about 2 months ago. I received a 2nd opinion from John's Hopkins today and all cores had a different (slightly lower) Gleason scores than my local testing gave. However I do have the evidence of adenocarcinoma in the prostate and am starting on this road through RT (with an OAR

Progression
My Oncologist says that after 4+ years of ADT, I am showing signs of castrative resistance. He also said that I am currently Low volume, low PSA Oligmatistic. Can someone translate. I had a PSMA scan a couple of weeks ago and the Radiation Oncologist said that I had a positive response. Thanks

Can I get Armour Thyroid or NDT from Crete without a prescription? Can I get it with a private prescription if not?
Hi everyone, I have been on Armour Thyroid for 22 years , I’m now 44. I was originally trialed on levothyroxine but there was absolutely no improvement, I was severely ill from a teenager, bed ridden with chronic pain and it was only when I was put on Armour Thyroid in my early 20s that I started to

Armpits? Yeah, armpits.
18 months ADT and my armpit hair has slowly, but finally, gone 😫.True, it's not a dramatic loss compared to the sacred memory of a hard erection! But a symptom is a symptom, and they all seem to have complications. After the hair had mostly become a memory, I started having a strange sensation in there

ndt am/pm
Hi, I am starting my ndt with a 1/4 of a grain am and pm on a slow build. I wanted to know if ndt is best taken both morning and afternoon or can I take just morning? Fitting it around an Emory stomach in the afternoon is a bit tricky.
