NDT blood test timing
Good morning all My understanding is when on NDT you should test 12 hours after your dose. Is that correct? If so at that point is the blood test more realistic as an indication of how well you are doing? I ask this because at my last one I was only a third way through the range of T3.

proving hypothyroidism
is this enough to prove hypothyroidism to nhs like a GP? My t4 was 16.9 with no treatment a few years ago but I was still having hypothyroid symptoms so started on NDT. It’s got worse in last year and a half and this are my recent results whilst on 160 of NDT- if I wasn’t on it, my t4 would be too low

Stage 4 ~ Now Losing Blood Somewhere
Hi, my husband was diagnosed stage 4 with lymph node and bladder neck margins involvement 3/2018. He has done chemo, radiation, and hormone therapy over the past 5 years. His PSA increased quickly starting in October 2022 and by December it was 27. Hormone therapy isn’t working as before, it appears

Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Testosterone level seems to have plateaued at 250 post 2018-19 IMRT, ADT and brachyboost; was never more than 270 pre-treatment. Criteria for starting/stopping TRT? What are its pros and cons? Responses to it from men here? Many thanks, EdinBaltimore

Incontinence after RP and ADT
I had a RO approximately 2 1/2 years ago with a recurrence 12 months later. I have had 37 sessions of radiotherapy and am in month 16 of 18 hormone therapy in the UK. My incontinence seemed to solve itself around 12 months after RP but never fully. In the past 12 months I still suffer from minor involuntary

blood test timings
just a quickie. As I’m on NDT I believe my blood test needs to be 12 hours after my dose. If the blood test came back a third through the range was I right to increase? I did this test on a non training day for worst case scenario.

Enzalutamide or Darolutamide
Hi, I have advanced metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer and as well as my usual three monthly ADT (Lucrin-Depot) injection, I have been offered either Enzalutamide (Xtandi) or Darolutamide (Nubeqa). My PSA is currently below 0.1 due to the Lucrin-Depot. I am a bit nervous at taking additional

If all treatment has failed do you continue with ADT?
Now that all treatment has failed to stop the beast do you continue ADT ? Husband has failed out of 6 pluvicto and now 6 Jevtana. No further treatment is planned. Any reason to continue?

Blood test results in advance of endo appointment + what are the MHRA guidelines for NDT?
Thank you SO SO much everyone who responded to my post last week about NDT absorption and how I should approach my endo to ask for NDT rather than synthetic T4/T3 therapy. Your responses have made the world of difference. I have my blood test results taken last Friday ready for endo this Thursday (

NDT from Germany or Denmark
Hi all, After a disastrous health meltdown on levothyroxine I've been very happy on Armour NDT for several years - except now I can't afford it. Can anyone explain how to get comparable NDT medication within the EU? How good are they and what kind of cost? Do I need a prescription and if so how do I

Followup on friend I mentioned.
He just got biopsy back. Lotta 4+3. His wife however, is telling me the Doc is saying it's Stage 1., which is absurd unless I'm woefully ill-informed. There is a good chance of miscommunication here. They go back to Urologist Thursday, so perhaps I'm posting this prematurely. (I have their permission

PSA after 4-5 months on Lupron (Scholz)?
Just watched a Scholz (PCRI) video posted last week about PSA. He said multiple times that PSA should reach a nadir of <0.1 after 4-5 months on 1st generation ADT and that if it didn't "[i]something's wrong, that is an unusual type of prostate cancer that has some hormone resistance and studies over

NDT+supplements?
Finally after many years of suspecting I am hypothyroid, I have found a doctor to prescribe me NDT-30 mgs morning & afternoon. I take many meds & supplements at every meal & bedtime, but from investigating I am most concerned by magnesium-which I take after breakfast/lunch/dinner- and calcium after

How To Adjust NDT Doses With Clocks Changing For BST?
How do you adjust your NDT doses when the clocks change to BST? Do you just change the dosing times in one go to the new 1 hour time shift? I stupidly thought the clocks went forwards last night. So I got up and took my NDT an hour earlier this morning at BST 😣. I plan on taking my second dose back

Triple Therapy
I started with Lupron+Abiraterone + Docetaxel. As I mentioned before elevated liver enzymes caused MO to place me on an Abiraterone vacation after cycle 1 of Docetaxel. Docetaxel was reduced to 3/4 dosage. Yesterday, I received my 3rd cycle of 3/4 dosage of Docetaxel, my 3 month injection of Lupron
