Stopping vitamins before blood test - query
Hi all, I take a multi vitamin which includes b vitamins and methylfolate etc - I am going for bloods tomorrow for Thyroid and Folate - I know I have read on her previously about stopping vitamins (containing B2?) up to a week before repeat bloods, I haven't taken mine in a good 5 days, I just wondered

is active b12 a better indicator than free b12
hi all my recent total b12 test came in at 468 (range 179-2000) so just 17% through range. I take sublingual b12 drops daily, a vitamin b complex tablet and I had a b12 shot a few weeks ago and so wasn’t expecting it to drop. I got my active b12 test back today and it says 116 (range 37.5-150) so

Long term side effects from salvage radiation after radical prostatectomy
Hi folks, I'm considering salvage radiation (~34 treatments) after a prostatectomy where the PSA didn't drop below .2. I'd like to get a feel for how common the long term side effects of Salvage radiation (to bladder, bowel, hemorrhoids, etc.) are, by hearing your experiences. Thanks in advance.

Radium 223 before Cabazitaxel?
This was prescribed today to manage bone pain and also because my PSA has not particularly responded to Docetaxel and the bone scan shows further cancer growth. There is some doubt as to whether more chemo will do any good. Has anyone had experience of doing things this way round? I assume I could

Hair loss getting worse - what am I missing?
I have been struggling with hair loss for 3 years. It is now falling at an alarming rate and I fear being forced into wigs or hair replacement surgery. It's been a long journey, so I don't know that I'll remember everything, but I'll try to hit the important points: 1. I have no thyroid 2.

bladder neck invasion. Can it be radiated?
My husband had radical prostatectomy last week and the pathology report came back with “bladder neck invasion present”, in” right mid and superior posterior and left and right bladder neck”. I’m wondering is it possible to radiate that area after he heals from surgery? He’s a gleason 9/10 and 50 years

...ditto from Dr Morgentaler. Its astonishing that we have been treated with a regime that is based on the published results of one man, 60 years after the fact. Its said that it takes 50 years to get a bad idea out of medicine and 100 to get a good one introduced...I think they were off on the latter

Homemade TTFD/TPD?
From Dr. Lonsdale book: "Allicin, a compound that gives garlic its odor, is formed by enzymatic action during the grinding of fresh bulbs of garlic.

Timing of XGeva & Radium 223.
My husband is due to start Radium 223 treatments at Stanford. His oncologist wants him to also start XGeva. The XGeva injections were postponed until after he had dental crown work done. He had an appointment for that on 2/6 which has been delayed because he tested + for Covid. His rescheduled appointment

I have a radical prostatectomy coming up in two weeks and I have lots of questions.
Is it possible to speak directly with someone who has gone through this process? The more I can visualize before surgery, the less anxious I will be. First-hand experience would help tremendously. Thank you.
