Gynecomastia from ADT - how much?
Gynecomastia from ADT - how much? I am considering asking my oncologist for transdermal estrogn (TDE) therapy instead of Orgovyx to combat my prostate cancer. Since gynecomastia and breast pain are pretty much the only bad side effects from TDE and less troubling to me than metabolic disturbance,

Nano Knife Surgery
I recently underwent a brand new surgical procedure called nano knife. Dr. Mayank Patel in Encino California, a da Vinci robotic and TULSA pro expert surgeon recommended this procedure after a panel of doctors examined my MRI and CT scans. The procedure was successful and five months post surgery

Story
I’ve got a large scar and disfigurement on the left side of my face after a surgery when I was a child, I’m really happy I’m still a very confident person however I cannot misconstrue the fact that I am different to the normal society, I’m happy to have a community here😁

Although I have been following the exchanges of this group for several months, this my first posting. I have (at 79) learned a lot from the pooled knowledge and experience of the group members. My inquiry ties in with posts regarding estradiol and the PATCH trial that have appeared the last couple

Fluctuating T4?
Hi all, Would really appreciate some advice on fluctuating free T4 levels - having had a dose increase from 50 to 75mg end of September 23, T4 finally went up to 16.7 (range 11.50 -22.7) in December - I know this still needs improvement and I still have the full range of symptoms but doctors wouldn't

When you don’t feel like it… but you do it anyway… and it’s good 👍🏻
Son is now on week 8. He said he’d like to do his first 28 minuter together (❤️) so I stayed on my bum periodically gazing out of the window at the glorious day and watched the sun go down, awaiting his return from school. He got back and said he didn’t feel like it 🙄 He hadn’t felt like it yesterday

Prednisolone without food
Have always taken my Prednisolone at breakfast with porridge or Greek yoghurt . Refuse to take a PPI. Am due for surgery in a few weeks time and not to eat after midnight. Am only on 4.5 mg Pred at present. Will it hurt this once to take it with no food? I cant see a way around it.

Removal of contralateral testicle
To further reduce risk of recurrence of NHL DLBCL the contralateral testicle was removed as well. Surgery was successful. Now waiting two months and then check PSA and Testosterone. Still hormone sensitive, but no further Lupron required. Looking forward.

Carboplatin alternatives

So the patient transport arrived early I got hear at 6;20 😱I was first on the list... The afternoon list 😁 My surgery was put in jeopardy as my sugar levels were too high, thankfully the team came up with a solution an insulin drip before, during and after surgery. The lump and margin was wider and

Ceasing Apixaban
I am due for knee joint replacement surgery. Can anyone relate their experience with stopping and starting Apixaban before and after the operation. I also take Ramipril, will I need to stop this for a while?. Thanks

Circumcision in 2 days
Hey, I’m having the cut done in 2 days and am terrified to say the least but I’ve made the decision and I’m doing it. So… can anyone help with ways to reduce sensitivity in the first few days? I was due to have this done about a year ago but the anesthetist decided to postpone because of a fear

Help and advice
Hi everyone, need some advice and reassurance if possible after being told I have CKD. A new GP took over at my surgery and as he was about to prescribe me some tablets he happened to say “Oh you can’t have them because of your CKD”. ????? First I had heard of it. Anyway I met with him last week and

EOD on the NHS?
I went for my first 4 weekly B12 injection at my GP surgery today. I was expecting some push back from the nurse but she gave the jab willingly. I asked if many people are getting 4 weekly or more frequent injections. Just 1. Me! I’m a bit of a novelty as everyone else is on 8 or 12 weeks. This

Multiple periods while on the PO pill
Hey everyone! I've been on Desogestrel (progesterone only pill) for about 5 weeks now to try and control my pain and bleeding while I wait for my excision surgery. I've had a lot of spotting but yesterday I came on a very heavy period only 8 days after finishing my last period and I'm wondering if
