Experiences of coming off zoladex or other long term hormonal treatments to conceive? Please help.
Hi there I am 31 and was diagnosed with severe stage 4 endometriosis at 17. I've been on zoladex for nearly the whole time since diagnosis add back HRT and regular bone scans.

ADT and crying
Does anyone else that has been on ADT drugs for years have trouble with tears or crying for no real reason? I tear up anymore at just the thought of something sad. It’s a major pain in the ass, not to mention embarrassing because I am still employed. Wondering if there is a solution other than stopping

Still confused about PSA and Testosterone testing
I have been reading posts here for some time and there seems to be a split between those who only get PSA tests each time they go to their doctors and those that get both tests each time. I had a baseline testosterone test before Lupron and before radiation. I am now doing my 6 month follow up and

booked in for full hysterectomy
hey I had a lap back in October and it looks like the endo has returned so I’m booked in for a total hysterectomy! I’m really scared about it all. How are you after yours? Has it changed you at all? I’ve already started hrt and get on really well with the oestrogel especially with less adhd symptoms

Has anyone ever had an Iron infusion?
Having suffered from underactive thyroid for years and taking Levothyroxine with mixed results, I also suffer from low iron and ferritin and Vitamin D. I find it hard to get my levels of iron up despite eating red meat and green veg and supplementing, and wondered if anyone had tried an iron infusion

Mitral Valve Replacement - Tissue or Metal valve?
Hi all, hope your evening is going well. I had an ECG on Monday and I was told I had a leaky Mitral valve and it needs replacing. I have an angiogram next Friday. I was shocked and I'm still processing the news. I'm no athlete by any stretch of the imagination, but I have never smoked, do not drink,

Hyperosmia (heightened sense of smell) after op
It's now nearly 5 weeks since my valve replacement and bypass, and while I'm totally pain free (except when I breath in) my nausea and lack of appetite seems to be getting worse. I'm now thinking that this is due to hyperosmia (it's getting worse), which I've had since I came round from the op. I can

Is nmCRPC potentially curable?

CBC test anemia: high MCV, MCH, low RBC and leukocytes?
Writing for my partner, who is exhausted and down after 5 months ADT and 28x radiation. Returning home he went for CBC, and it came back high MCV MCH, low RBC and leukocytes. His primary w/0 knowledge of cancer tx says nothing. I'm not content with this, I hate to see my partner so tired and unenthused

Valve replacement
hellooo, I am 25 years old and due to have valve replacement surgery at some point (not sure when, just waiting for the right time) I have Truncus Arteriosus and had valve replacement surgery when I was a baby but haven’t needed one just yet since. My question is… I am currently always tired. Not

Low Testosterone and value of continuing Hormone Therapy

Barrigel is now preferred over "SpaceOAR" gel?
Consulted by video with the doctor who is supposed to install my SpaceOAR in preparation for my IMRT. His first words were "we don't use SpaceOAR gel anymore. We use Barrigel." He explains it has fewer side effects but the same radiation absorption characteristics. Here is what "UroToday" says:

happy holidays …. And a quick update
Just a quick note to wish all the warriors here a happy holidays with friends and family. As an update, I’m off all treatments and my psa remains <0.014. I remain grateful for the respite. My last degeralix injection and darolutamide was in May, and the SBRT to my ribs and neck about 2 years ago

worried about thyroidectomy
hi everyone, I’m new here’ but not new to thyroid issues unfortunately. I got diagnosed with graves in 2017 after the birth of my first baby. Since then I have had countless relapses, they’ve all been managed with Carbimazole/ptu but as time goes on the time between relapses is getting way shorter and
