Letrozole
I saw the oncologist yesterday to discuss radiotherapy and hormone therapy.The plan for radiotherapy is on hold ATM because I have an ongoing issue with a seroma on the breast and underarm. During the meeting she said she would give me a prescription for Letrozole, I told her I wasn't happy to start

Treatment
My dears, after RP (Gleason 7, 4+3, infected 3 lymph nodes) and lymphadetectomy, radiation and hormone therapy for 39 months, my oncologist took me off hormone therapy with the recommendation of PSA control every 3 months. The last three PSA readings (every three months) were 0.01 / 0.00 / 0.00, I expect

Expectations
I have undergone 45 radiation treatments and am on my last month of Eligard. PSA is undetectable and my T is barely existent. No mets detected on prior pet scans. My Urologist and Oncologist are giving me congrats. I understand this is probably a temporary remission (g 4+3 - stage 2/3) but I wonder

Actinic keratosis & Lung cancer
Hi, Dad is in 5th week of taking Erlotinib and corresponding face rash appears to be under control with prescribed cream / antibiotics. Also good to see that his cough has reduced in frequency by around 90% and no increase in fatigue. My question is- dad has actinic keratosis ( for around 25 years +

Hi I’m new, been following the treads of other people’s issues for some time and realise I too need help to as the Gps don’t give much help or advise. Makes me feel like I’m wasting their time . Still that aside I have just read a thread about HRT and Levothyroxine. I’ve been on Kevo thyroxine for

What does it mean?
I'm slightly embarrassed to be asking strangers on the internet, but I'm a little frustrated by the lack of information given by the doctors. My dad (63) just got diagnosed - Gleason score 8 - and after a new scan they've concluded there's two mets - one in the pelvic lymph node and one in the seminal

ADT IS DONE. NEXT?
Lupron and Zytiga will have completed 2 years of each in June. I've read some continue Lupron for 3 years or longer. How do you know how long to take? Monitor testosterone and PSA how often? 2 or 3 months?

Help boosting thyroid without medication?
Hello all I have posted before as my thyroid function is poor but always comes back in range (my TSH never rises even with low levels) so no chance of medication on the NHS (other than statins for high cholesterol which I refuse). I did some recent tests TSH 1.95 (0.27-4.2) T4 14.6 (12-22) T3

How do you know if you're developing cysts?
I've just been diagnosed with PCOS with a low SHBG, <12 follicles in both ovaries, normal FAI and ovaries are normal size and volume.I just had a few questions... What does the amount of follicles mean? Are this mini cysts? How do you know if a cyst is growing? Is painful and is there any way of reducing

Does this mark the beginning of castration resistance?
Hi all, I have been quietly reading all of your posts and comments in the background since my dad's diagnosis with Stage IV adenocarcinoma (Gleason 9 (4+5)) with distal bone metastases in September 2022. My dad's PSA at diagnosis was 150. He is 64. Since May 2023, dad has been on monthly Degarelix

Are endocrinologists of any help after ADT?
After ADT, my MO told me that handling things like Prolia management won't be in her bailiwick. I didn't ask about post-ADT SE's and recovery from same. Hot flashes, low T, BMD loss, and last not least sarcopenia. What is the community's experience with how post-treatment SE's are best handled? Are
