Op update
hi everyone! my mum had her debunking surgery 4 weeks ago yesterday and was told at the time the surgery had gone perfectly and she was NED. We went in today for the appointment to plan the chemo and the Registrar said that actually when the MDT had later reviewed the op they’d noticed microscopic

PSA reduction after Estrogen Patch Therapy
Here's a revised plot of PSA reduction due to castration from Estrogen Patch therapy. The previous version had the wrong time scale. That has been corrected in this version. The total time is 3 months, after which the PSA and testosterone both flatten out versus time. I've also added the reference

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. ER7, PGR4, HER2 neg (and NPI 3.44 what ever this is).
I discovered a lump on Christmas Day, was seen at the hospital on the 10th of January. January 23rd the lump was removed along with 4 lymph nodes. My question is I am on Anastrazole 1mg , Levothyroxine 25mg (thyroid decided to pack in) and Atorovastatin 40mg. Can I take any of these pills at the same

PSA drop with decreasing Testosterone after Estrogen Patch Therapy
Here's a plot that I made from data taken from the PATCH estrogen patch therapy study. It plots the % reduction in PSA from baseline (100%) at time = 0 as a function of testosterone levels over a period of 4 weeks. As you know, estrogen effectively castrates men, causing a drop in testosterone over

PSA spiked from .6 to 8.0 in 3 months
The blood test corroborates the MRI that shows spread. I am talking with Dr Goodman in the AM. Am I doomed? My PSA has never been 8. before

At the crossroads (again)
My profile is up to date, but, briefly, have failed chemo, ADT (am castrate resistant), failed Keytruda and now Pluvicto. Scans yest. & today show progression along with PSA rise. All my mets are in bone. So, my SOC choices are cabazataxel or radium 223. Other options are trial, which are a crapshoot

My Cancer Journey Repost
It's time for a repost of my two-part cancer journey diary. Some "starting the journey readers" might find it helpful. Originally posted as two Health Unlocked "replies" - maybe I should make them an actual full "post". So I am pleased to report that
other than fatigue, I feel sort of normal right

Rising PSA
I'm Poollover, Just got the results of a blood test and my PSA went up from 0.67 to 0.77. I'm on Orgovyx and Zytiga. I'm 86 years old. How concerned should I be? 8 months ago it was about 12. That was before medication. Also slightly anemic. What are my options? Terry

Although Oncologist thought a standard
