Zytiga vs Xtandi
November of 2020 PSA was noted at 4.5. 6 months later it was 32 then quickly up to 46. Biopsy graded out at GL9. PSMA found metastasis on the sacrum and multiple lymph nodes in pelvic and abdominal area. Started Lupron in October and radiation therapy in January 2022. One oncologist likes Zytiga over

Yet one more Metformin and statins query
Please spare me the guffaws and head shakes for asking once again about the value of these two medications in treating prostate cancer. I ask because I was informed recently that they may be beneficial if one has received radiation treatments particularly. No, my witch doctor did not tell me this.

Metformin gestational diabetes
Hi Anyone taking metformin to control their gd. I'm worried about taking very high doses. Especially when I am trying really hard to control diet and my testing sugar levels are mainly in range. I might have the odd spike in the evening.

How do I choose between treatment for Parkinson's and Diabetes.
I am a Parkinson's patient with Type II diabetes. My Metformin treatment and Trulicity treatment for diabetes is believed to cause problems with my Parkinson's. It's a "catch 22". I also have neuropathy in my legs and feet caused by my diabetes. I cannot afford to stop treating either the Parkinson's

Metformin - Are there any contraindications or reasons not to take it?
Are there any material contraindications or reasons for prostate cancer patients not to take Metformin. Other than a few specific people getting idiosyncratic gastro intestinal upset, is there any material reason most of us should not be taking metformin?

Baby kicks
Hi, Is it normal for baby to be super active one day and next to nothing the next. I have gestational diabetes and take metformin and feel baby kicks less when I take 1000mg metformin in the evening. The next day baby will be less active. Anyone else had such an experience?

looking for pcos support! (new here)
Hey, everyone! I'm new here and I was advised to try and find folks with a similar experience to mine.

STAMPEDE will result in more data on estrogen patches and also data on metformin.
It is encouraging that the SOC opinions about estrogen patches for ADT, and the use of testosterone are changing. I was diagnosed just over 3 years ago so I wasn't following PCa trials and therapies before 2018. However, it seems that some progress is being made. Is this an accurate statement or wishful

Dapagliflozin
Following my Cardiology consult just before Christmas my cardiologist increased the dosage of Bisoprolol, changed my Simvastatin to an increased dose of Atorvastatin, but left my Ramipril as before. New addition to the regime is Dapagliflozin as I am borderline diabetic also. Do any of you take this
