1st post-IMRT PSA = 2.1
I completed IMRT on 5/22/23. My last recorded PSA from 1/23 was 4.31. My 1st PSA draw on 8/22/23 came back 2.12. I've read and have been told that PSA doesn't go down immediately with radiation, unlike surgery, and can take up to 2 years to hit its nadir. The RO NP was happy and pretty much said that

intensive group therapy as outpatient
Any care to share if it was a positive or negative experience? I start Friday. It is victual for 3 hours , 3 days a week, up to 18 in the group. Never done it before. Feeling skeptical, frightened, and want to get something out of it.

Ozempic-Anti Cancer?
I'm 10-15 pounds above ideal weight, not on any form of ADT. Since cancer feeds on sugar, does it make sense to use Ozempic to reduce blood sugar to presumably starve the cancer?

GnRH analogues
Hi all, I am due to be starting injectable GnRH analogues soon alongside a HRT, dose anyone have any advice/ guidance on them and their side effects and management? In the past I have had Nafarelin (Synarel). The plan is to have these before surgery as NHS wait is 50 weeks where I am. Thanks

Intraductal Carcinoma & Cribiform pattern 4 treatment options?
Newly dx. PCa. with Intraductal carcinoma, IDC-P. This is the most aggressive prostate cancer type. In my case 4+3 with 70% pattern 4 with cribriform which make it even more worse. There are four types of pattern 4 (poorly formed glands, glomeruloid structures, cribriform glands, and fused glands) and

ED no more
My case is unusual in as much as I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer four years ago. A bone scan identified many areas where I had bone mets, even one between my shoulder blades on my spine that looked like structural surgery was inevitable. My PSA topped 1000 and I had zero treatments of any

Compression fracture on T 10
My recent Whole body scan and CT scan for PCa ( diagnosed in 2016 with T3N0M1, after which I had radiation,chemotherapy and have been on hormone therapy since), showed a compression fracture on my T10 where I had SBRT radiation 2 years ago. My scans earlier in the year also showed a small fracture

Can people with hypothyroidism suffer with sweats and heat intolerance?
Before I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and put on medication, I suffered with dreadful sweating for years; eating hot food or drinks would being it on as would housework and sitting in a stuffy office environment. This would be the type that would soak on hair and clothing. For a long time I thought

More on statins
I've actually been tolerating ADT quite well over the past year but beginning in January I started feeling tightness in chest, low endurance, out of breath, heavy fatigue, attributing all to Xtandi...Then in May I fainted after getting up from the couch so the old lady took me to the ER...I had an emergency

Any advice welcome on latest blood tests
I've been tinkering around with Hydrocortisone and thyroid replacement for over a year now and been symptomatic for almost 4 years with low tsh and frees.

back again - people saying I have thyroid issues - I don’t know what to do?
people keep saying my mood etc could be thyroid related and weight gain. here are my trackers of thyroid… I’ll post the rest below this. I don’t know what to do as I think my HRT is doing this. GPs won’t listen. I have no relationship with them at all. What are your thoughts?

Future after Erleada/Lupron
I met with a new MO today for a second opinion. I've been taking Erleada/Lupron for almost four years with few side effects (for which I'm grateful). I'm aware that my results have been very good and I wasn't looking for advice regarding a change in my care....I just wanted to have a second doctor

Endo back after surgical menopause - anyone else?
It's a long story so I shall keep it short - I had TLH/BSO with excision at a BSGE centre in 2017, putting me in surgical meno. Things were generally OK for a while but about 18 months ago I started to get symptoms again (pain, cystitis, then the unpredictable guts started). Gave up on the wait for an

Coming off Pramipexole
I'm a 65 year old female in Norfolk in the UK, with hereditary RLS for which I was prescribed X1 every evening 0.088mg Pramipexole some 10 (possibly?) years ago. A year ago I had a single mastectomy, am on Anastrazole oestrogen suppressant hormone treatment and a Calcium/D3 supplement for that, along

Low-dose Aspirin.
I imagine that the new aspirin study [JAMA (1)] will get a lot of media play, but I will post anyway. A previous study concluded that the only people who benefit from low-dose aspirin are those who have already experienced a cardiovascular event. For everyone else, the risks obliterate any benefit

Levothyroxine - anxiety , chronic fatigue, HRT and eating disorder - does anyone else have these symptoms ?
hi thyroiders - I am yo-yoing from extreme anxiety to extreme fatigue . I am getting really low thoughts as I can’t sustain a relationship - I can barely look after my children and they live with me half the time. I feel so afraid as over the last 16 years this is getting worse and worse Just started

Am I going mad?
Hi! I've had so much helpful information from this forum and made copious notes over the last few weeks, I was determined I could get by without asking for help, but no. I'm so upset, after what I've decided is my last visit to the GP as I'm fed up of being fobbed off and coming out like a gibbering
