Frailty, G-8 Score & PCa outcome.
New paper below. Is frailty inevitable? We could work-out each day & eat a pescatorian diet (aka pesco-vegetarian) like Jack LaLanne & die at age 96 (he died of pneumonia because he wouldn't see a doctor - it would have interfered with his work-out.) The G-8 {Geriatric 8 score} questionaire [1] allows

Ugh now diabetes
Hi again. I have now been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I have been put on insulin injections plus Metaformin at night. I am not over weight and have never had any sign of diabetes before suddenly taking seriously ill and being admitted to hospital. I know that Metaformin depletes Vitamin B levels

Castration resistance
Diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer at age 43. Went through chemotherapy with docetaxel for 6 cycles, radiation of mets to my cervical vertebrae, ADT with Lupron of course and even a radical prostatectomy (strange this was even offered and done with my stage). I started with a PSA of 54 and joined

Experiences of amphotericin?
Hi. Jacmidlands over on the BLF forum replied to a post about my 12 yo daughter pointing me in this direction, and I’m hoping some of you can help. She has fairly severe cystic fibrosis, and we’re unfortunately very familiar with bacterial infection as a result, but fungal issues are relatively new.

Experiences of amphotericin?
Small person is off to 5* on Friday for her fortnight of the ‘good stuff’, a little earlier than planned although mostly ok overall, but with the addition of amphotericin alongside IV colomycin and piptaz. I’ll post a proper update soonish, as there’s been quite a bit going on even with lockdown happening

What other treatments are left?
My SO is 83 year old. He was diagnosed with PC stage 4 in October 2018 with a PSA of 947 and Gleason 8. He first tried Zytiga which worked for 4 months, then he was on chemo for 5 sessions. He developed a bad case of lymphedema and had to quit chemo. He is now on Radium 223 and Provenge. Just finished

How to get cell counts back to normal after Radium 223 (Xofigo) first dose?
Since my Dad had his first dose of Radium 223 (Xofigo), a few months ago now, his cell counts; Neutrophils, white blood cells, Heamoglobin and platelets have decreased. There was mention of a blood transfusion but I don't think it is necessary yet. He obviously can't continue with his treatment until

PSA 3.12 after 3/17 radical prostatectomy. Future treatment thoughts?
I'm new to Advanced Prostate Cancer, moving "up" from Prostate Cancer Network due to recent pathology results after da Vinci radical prostatectomy (RP) on March 17 in Spokane, WA, with Dr. Raymond Lance, who had more than 2,000 da Vinci RPs under his belt. I feel very good about this choice. Surgery
