Subclinical hypothyroidism advice for next appointment
Hi, I was told I was I had Subclinical hypothyroidism in 2017 but was not significant so no further input. Unsure of exact results but TSH was raised, but <10 with normal T4 (but do not have a copy of the results). Past few years have noticed hair loss, muscle aches & pains, tiredness, some weight gain

Enlarged liver and spleen
I'm so sorry to bother everyone again, it's just that I have [yet another] question. My liver and spleen are enlarged as a result of my cirrhosis - by not drinking, exercising and eating cleanly, is there any chance of the liver and spleen shrinking back to close to the size they should be? Thank you

I do hope that I’ll be able to help others on this forum, even just with a few encouraging words. As a new member I do feel it’s welcoming and supportive. I was diagnosed with Ascites in Feb this year. The doctor sent me home with lactose (just explaining was for constipation) and an appointment was

Can medication elevate the PSA?
My PSA at time of the cancer diagnosis was 5.56. Being in the hospital right now with several meds surging through me, the PSA is at 348.00. Is this a normal reaction?

recently diagnosed with overactive thyroid
hi Forgot to mention… I’ve been taking multivitamins which obviously contain iodine, as I’ve just been diagnosed with overactive thyroid should I stop taking them?? Not yet on medication I'm currently waiting for carbimazole prescription.

Exercise
I was diagnosed with decompensated liver cirrhosis a few months ago. I came out of hospital about a month ago, from Ascites, jaundice and pneumonia. I am extremely upset by this and very scared. I have completely stopped drinking since my time in hospital. I could barely walk after leaving hospital

Bone scan/CT sensitivity?
My husband has only ever had regular nuclear bone scan and CT. PSA is now rising over 6 months from .45 to.9. At what PSA level would repeat scans be likely to image progression? I am aware of PSMA and this might come down the line but currently from what I read from TA and others is that we need comparable

Jevtana
Once again I am asking for any information that can be provided from this great group. Would appreciate any information for Jevtana treatment. At doctor's appt yesterday, my husband's hemoglobin had decreased to 7.6 and he had to have a blood transfusion. His Alkaline Phosphatase went up again.

Poop talk: microbiome and prostate cancer, some news
Ok, it's one fascinating subject, especially if we use the word microbiome! Consider that the study was carried out on murine models but also on humans, so there are some interesting findings. In a small small nutshell (but I suggest you to read the whole article, at least the introduction and the conclusions

Enzalutamide Plus 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors for Castrate-Sensitive Prostate Cancer
Phase II trial exploring the combination of enzalutamide with five alpha-reductase inhibitors (ARIs) for castrate-sensitive prostate cancer. Driven by observations from geriatric oncology, the study seeks alternatives to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for older, frail men who struggle with its side

Low Potassium/High Calcium Caution
Hi Guys I had a mineral check via a hair test and a DNA Methylation report via a mouth swab (corrected 16 June as I had them the wrong way round) as suggested by a nutritionist who has been helping me sort my gut and auto-immune issues. I wasn't expecting much ... but how lovely to be pleasantly surprised

Does PSA drop after starting ADT tell us anything?
My husband started Firmagon shots a month ago. Before starting his PSA was 5.9. It was tested a few days ago and it’s 1.4 now. Does this tell us anything of any significance? Thanks!

Figuring things out - first year since diagnosis
Hi, I'm posting here as I don't know anyone in real life with lupus and have been struggling to work out what my expectations should be in terms of symptoms. I was diagnosed just over a year ago following about a year of strange symptoms - GI issues, weight loss, Raynaud's, mouth ulcers, hand and wrist
