Treatment Decision
I am hoping for some guidance for what to do next for my father. My father is in his early 70s, Gleason 8, PSMA and MRI last year showed no spread, but PSA was rapidly raising. He had an organ transplant years ago, and a small stroke, takes anti seizure medications, and has a walking disability due

Hello from Chom 🐕
Chom turned 9 on June 17th. He was adopted from a shelter when he was just one. Abandoned in a flat to fend for himself with a few other dogs it took almost a week for them to be found and rescued. Two of the dogs did not survive. He was the smallest dog that made it. Initially he was a bag of nerves

Post Kidney Transplant
I had a kidney transplant 1 1/2 years ago it took over a year for all my numbers to stabilize to normal. Now I have achy joints and muscles everyday mostly shoulders. Don’t know if it’s the anti rejection drugs or just old age. Never had these issues prior to transplant. I’m an active 64 year old male
