Looking for any Info for Recent PC Diagnosis
I’m a 62 year old, recently diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. I’ve been on hormone therapy for 2 weeks and see my oncologist in a week. My PC seems to be aggressive and my PSA is off the charts 885! I would love any positive info I can get.

Dosage question.
I was diagnosed with Graves and overactive thyroid forty four years ago. I had a thyroidectomy and started on synthetic thyroid hormone therapy. I’m 69 now and take 100 mcg of Levothyroxine daily, my TSH is 0.291, low. What dose should I be taking?

Ascites
I’m going through the diagnosis process at the mo. Had CT scan last week. Follow up appointment isn’t until a week on Monday. I’m quite sure I’m suffering with ascites. Do I wait til that appointment to find out or should I call someone (consultant’s secretary or my own GP) to ask for it to be drained

MRI HCC Scan and bloods.
Hi guys.I have just received my 6 months routine MRI Scan results . Like the other 5 scans I've had they've shown no features of concern and my next routine scan is booked for 6 months. The monitoring liver blood result was normal ( AFP <1). On the blood form for the next scan it shows Cirrhosis CPT

Fibroscan Frequency
I had a Fibroscan 3 months ago as an earlier US diagnosed I had cirrhosis. I have fatty liver and a LSM of 28.2 . I have given up alcohol completely since then. I asked the consultant when will I have another Fibroscan . He told me in about a year. I was hoping to have another one much sooner so

Encouraging results
Went for 6 monthly US today and they also fitted me in for a fibroscan. Well...the US showed a regular shaped, smooth liver with no nodules and only mild fatty liver. Fibroscan was still high at 40, but much better than 10 months ago when it was 74. My liver is recovering from the years of alcohol I

Pluvicto and PSA
Hi Gents, Prior to starting Pluvicto my PSA was 29.29, after round 1, 23.67, after round 2, 14.47, after round 3, 17.70. I then had a PSMA-PET scan. It showed all bone metastases except one were either receding or gone. After round 4, my PSA is now 21.51. I don’t get it. If almost all my metastases

Updates to de novo metastatic prostate cancer treatment
Q. Is the current standard of care has changed in just one year? Docetaxel may now be considered in low volume and de novo disease together with an AR pathway inhibitor and radiation therapy indications should be extended not only to low volume but also to high-volume de novo disease? A. Yes, there

Help Interpreting PET Scan Results
This is for my son's father (and my best friend). His biopsy showed prostate cancer, Gleason Score 7 (3+4), Grade 2, cancer found in all 12 cores. Yesterday he went in for a PSMA PET Scan and the results were delivered to his online account this morning. His Dr is closed for the holiday weekend so

What does ‘neuroendocrine differentiation' mean in metastatic prostate cancer?
My 71 year old dad has been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer with neuroendocrine differentiation - he had absolutely zero symptoms until a lymph node on his neck swelled up. It’s metastasised to his lower spine and sternum too. He’s just had his oncology appointment today and they’re going to
