Need for less thyroid hormone replacement in summer
Hello everyone, Just a general question as to whether any of you find that you need less thyroid hormone in the summer months? I’ve been well on a dose of combination t4/t3 for about 8 months now- having found my sweet spot last October. However over the past couple of weeks I’ve been experiencing

Elgard v Lupron
I’ve experienced slowly increasing side effects over the past six to nine months. I passed it off to age and time on ADT, but I’ve recently discovered that I was switched from Lupron Depot to Eligard last November. Everything I read says the SEs should be the same. Has anyone else experienced the

PSA still undetectable and testosterone doubles to 1.6
Just an update as I yesterday was blood test day. I’m continuing with the Apalutamide monotherapy, still enjoying working full time and just back from an Italian lake holiday. So no movement on my PSA but interesting to see testosterone creeping up ( 11 months since my last Zoledex injection so 8

Docetaxel
Anyone willing to share experiences with Docetaxel? Good, Bad, and Ugly. Any recommendations or advice to help with side effects etc. My husband is in year 7… He has been on the traditional SOC with ADT… Lupron, Firmagon, Nubequa, and lastly Zytiga. All have ceased working. His PSA has risen to

10 weeks in, not feeling great
I am a 57 year old woman, and had an Nstemi 10 weeks ago, and one stent fitted. I am on 2.5 bisoprolol, tricagrelor, 10 of ramipril, 80 statins and also aspirin. My ejection fraction was poor at 45 (which I found a bit upsetting when it transpired I was the lowest in the rehab class) I was on HRT before

Anyone else suffering arm pains in conjunction with ADT hot flashes?
Ever since commencing ADT (Decapeptyl 11.5mg) following recurrent PCa in 2022 I've been getting muscle pain in both arms. It always commences simultaneously with the onset of hot flashes. The pain courses down both arms from the shoulder to the backs of my hands. It's not too severe and each bout only

Good day to all fellow warriors, I used to post as Arnie1970, but that account stopped working. After the initial scare of a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, a lot has happened. Four grand children were born( two boys, two girls). I stopped working, and we traveled a lot. Even though I stopped writing.

Severe palputations...explanation?
Hi. I am 56 years old with a history of SVT, low blood pressure, and night time panic attacks causing a very fast heart beat. I have been on a low dose of bisoprolol for several years now which has largely managed my symptoms. However after getting severe anxiety upon menopause, I started HRT and Sertraline

After Lupron I have been having seizures
Hi, In December 2023 I decided to finally undergo treatment for my prostate cancer, Gleason scale 6, with a high PSA of 63 (or 48 on another test) I had had this cancer for eight years WITHOUT it spreading. But doctors kept warning (I would almost say harassing) me, so... I underwent one shot of lupron

How do I update my bio?
My bio on Health Unlocked website needs updating. How do I do that? I can't seem to update my bio from 2023. I'm interested in adding PSAs and testosterone quarterly blood tests from 2023 and 2024. My good new is that my PSA has been 0.01 "nearly undetectable" for more than a year. My MO said don't

T never recovered after ADT and 44 EBRT sessions.
I had gleason 7 /3+4. Completed ADT and EBRT (44 sessions) November of 2020. Undetectable psa up until 6 months ago. Then went to 0.1. I had been taking Androgel ( 2 pumps daily) my MO declared that I was " out of remission" and I then stopped the TRT. Since then, I've had two psa tests at 3 month intervals

Just over 12 months since adt finished. All clear at <0.01 2 months ago when it started to rise to 0.03 then 4 weeks later 0.05 now 0.07. Have Dr's app in 3 weeks which will probably be a referral back to oncologist. Do we need to wait until 2.0 then a PET scan or can I be proactive now? My adt was
