PSA 3.4. Gleason 7. MRI and biopsy diagnosed prostate carcinoma left lobe. In December 22 a PET/CT (238MBq F-18 PSMA) found moderate grade uptake involving the left peripheral zone of my prostate gland consistent with the known carcinoma and lower grade uptake involving the right lobe of my prostate

Briefly, I had PMR from 2016 - 2019. It didn’t show up on blood test and I was started on 15mg of pred. Within 48 hours I was pain free and quickly reduced to 10mg then dead slow method. After having very painful shoulders and top of arms for the last 3 months (which did not respond to painkillers

i get people in their 70’s telling me at 49 that i did the right thing in having my prostate removed. My quality of life is zero. I found out my Urologist lied to me. Doing the prostatectomy is about the worst mistake of my life. If the surgery is not necessary, do not do it

2012 Robotic Prostatectomy. Gleason 3+4 2015 Salvage Radiation plus 6 months Zoladex 2019 and 2020 PET/CT scans showed 2 mets to spine and one in Ribs plus several in left back lymph nodes. 2020 Rising PSA to 11.8 with 2 mets to spine and one in Ribs plus several in left back lymph nodes 2021 (March

looking for some insite as to what I should expect going forward given the state of my condition. Had prostatectomy in 2019. Gleason 4+3. PSA before operation was 3.4. Remained undetectable for 4 months, then rise to 1.9 over 4 months. PSMA scan detected one lymph node in pelvis. Went for 40 rounds

I had bowel cancer in May last year and had a hemi-colectomy that was straight forward and needed no further treatment. Nine weeks after that operation I was told that they had found another cancer on the bowel they removed. This turned out to be Low grade serous ovarian cancer. I had a Radical hysterectomy

I have been prescribed Adcal- D3 because the aromatase inhibitor I’ve been prescribed as part of my treatment plan for breast cancer has been known to cause osteoporosis. (Anastrozole).  I have been referred for a Dexa scan but advised to start meds as the scan may not be anytime soon. I have several

In recent years there has been increased awareness of the importance of the gut microbiome for good health. I stopped Minocycline when I decided to give Akkermansia a try.  It's been a while since my Akkermansia supply ran out.  I have just begun using Doxycycline & pondering the implications. One

Has anyone looked into this at all? I mean specifically Sapphire Clinics for medical cannabis. Someone just suggested it to me to help with pain management. I have painful osteoarthritis in my back and hips now on top of the PMR. It looks as if these people will supply it to you now as a medication

They are, of course, offering me a choice between radical prostatectomy and radical radiation + hormone therapy. I am aware of all of the likely and possible side effects of both treatments.

After radical prostatectomy, chemo clinical trial, and radiation during 2001-2002, I watched my psa do its long slow climb. I began Lupron injections about five years ago. The number dropped to about 0.84, then began another long slow climb.

My urologist and oncologist have laid out what they present as 3 equally viable options, radical prostatectomy , radiation (external or seed) and active monitoring. They have told me that my case is a low to moderate risk case.

hi everyone hope everyone is doing ok. I wanted to ask about my vitamin timing. So I currently take my t4 & t3 in the morning 6am and then my second dose of t3 in the afternoon at 2 pm (if I forget then it’s 4pm once back from school run) then I take my alfacailcidol , ADCAL and vitamin d before bed

Has anyone any advice re recovery and what benefits have been. I am a fit 72 year old now. I am expecting it to be a general anaesthetic

Mike is choosing to have the radical prostatectomy, the surgeon has done over 4000 robotic assisted RPs. He was very optimistic and believes that he has an excellent chance at never having a recurrence in his lifetime - 90% chance that there will not be a recurrence.

I have been prescribed Adcal- D3 as the medication I have been prescribed for breast cancer has been known to cause osteoporosis. (Anastrozole). I have several questions: 1. Adcal-D3 contains soy oil - I thought soy contained plant oestrogen which was similar to human? Is it safe to take given my

I'm just looking forward to starting next reduction which will be 5 > 4.5. Order placed at Pharmacy a week ago - some some tabs at 1mg and 2.5 mg. A friend has been to collect as I have the wretched Covid. She has reported that they have given her 1mg in plain tabs (as usual) but 2.5 tabs are COATED

Does anyone know about use and getting it in Georgia? Been on Xtandi for 2 years now but looking for other options to help with sleep.

I had a prostatectomy in May, 2012 (age 62 ,PSA7, GS 4+3=7) , SRT in June 2018 (PSA.22). My PSA went to undetectable after surgery and my nadir was .05 after SRT. On both occasions my PSA stayed down at those levels for years followed by a slow rise. I'm now apparently working on my third recurrence
