Travel insurance and prostate cancer
I have had HIFU for prostate cancer that was only partially successful. Subsequently my PSA started to rise again so I was treated 5 years ago with docetaxel followed by decapeptyl hormone therapy starting 4 years ago. I want to go on holiday. Can anyone recommend a travel insurance company that will

Hi everyone, it’s been a while since I last made a post. I started armour last September after being on a high dose of thyrogold for years and I’m still trying to find my dose on armour. I have gradually worked up to 3 grains which has been a rocky and rather arduous task (low iron and low cortisol

Contraindication question
I am taking NDT ERFA 1.5 grains a day. I plan to take Hawthorne tincture to reduce my high blood pressure along with Elderflower tincture for calming. Does anyone know of contraindications with the NDT?

Best use of Psa to guide intermittent hormone therapy
presently on relugolix + Darolutamide for local reccurrence and will go off these drugs if Psa is less than .65 three months ago tested and go back on when Psa reaches 3-5.. Seems it will be about 6months and hopefully 6 months off, Tentative protocol so far. Input from all and for all welcomed. Thanks

strange cramping
I recently- well- a few weeks back - ran out of my NDT and not had the funds to replace. I use the Thai ones. I don’t know if a coincidence but I’ve started getting cramps or pains in different places like under my ribs, behind my shoulder blades or perhaps when I turn my neck. In feet too (but these

Xtandi
Pet scan Aug 8, 2022 showed 5 lymph nodes with CA. Urologist started me on Xtandi and referred me to an Oncologist who started Degarelix injections. Oct 25, 2022 stopped taking Xtandi due to intolerable side effects; started Bicalutamide. PSA was 0.47 in Oct with gradual increase to 4.8 in Apr. Oncologist

Effect of low endogenous testosterone
PSA now at 7.9. Biopsy showed 1 sample was Gleason 8. Starting ADT and radiation soon. Have had low testosterone (<150 ng/ml) most of my life. Non-existent libido, depression and tired most of the time. Recent studies have shown that aggressive prostate cancer more common in people with low testosterone

I'm so swollen
I haven't been here for a while. Since I haven't found a good ndt I've been on levo(tirosint 112 mcg) and t3(slow release form) for a while now. My problem is that i can't lose weight especially from my belly, when I look in the mirror it's like I'm in the 9th month. I pay attention to what I eat, I

Vacation time again
I had the follow up appt with my MO. My PSA is down a notch to 0.2. We decided to follow the original plan of intermittent ADT and I’m starting another ADT vacation. This round of ADT had started with minimal SE’s but in the last month or so it’s gotten worse. My energy level has noticeably decreased

Difference in T3
Both Thybon Henning and Cynomel are made by Sanofi but one is 20 mcg and the other 25 mcg does anyone know the difference in ingredients. Most people on the site appear to prefer the Thybon one. I am prescribed T3 Cynomel and it doesn't agree with me. After being on NDT for years the fast acting

ART ASCO GU 2023: Testosterone Recovery Following Androgen Suppression and Prostate Radiotherapy (TRANSPORT)

Results ( confused )
Does anyone know what it means when your temperature wobbles more than 0.5c, but cortisol is actually not LOW, but high? I was not on any kind of supplements at the time of this test. But I did wake up once during the night before waking again in the morning. I was also a bit stressed at the time I did

thoughts on virtual second opinions
Hi all,My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer about 5 weeks ago. He is 65 years old. His current MO has him on a zoladex injection and next ADT has yet to be added. I was looking into getting a second opinion at MD Anderson, Mayo and Sloan Kettering. I noticed that all offered

Cardio performance abrupt decline
Currently on Orgovyx for the last 18 months with very little side effects due to wrestling, lifting weights and hiking. Then suddenly four days ago, only a block from the beginning of my daily 2.5 mile hike my energy unexpectedly ran out. I pushed forward another block assuming I could shake off whatever

First psa test was 0.1, month later psa 0.8 month later psa 0.22 Psa remained at 0.22 for next 3 months.My urologist who did RP said it could be "reactive lymph nodes". A CT scan and bone scan revealed nothing

Is there hope? I’m dreading asking the question of “how long”…
My father was diagnosed in September ‘23 with a PSA in the 900s. It had already metastasized throughout his body in several parts of his bones (ribs, spine, hips, femur and a spot at the base of his skull) but no organs had been affected other than his prostate. We were hopeful when it began to climb
