Testosterone Recovery for 50% of Men
Here's an updated plot of Testosterone recovery time for 50% of men after stopping Lupron ADT, as a function of ADT duration. For ADT durations less than 20 months, the curve is basically linear with a slope = 1.0 (green line), meaning that the Recovery Time for 50% of men is roughly equal to the ADT

Testosterone Recovery After ADT - Updated Plot
Thanks to Tall_Allen for providing lots of extra data for this plot: https://www.prostatecancer.news/2023/04/intermittent-adt.html You can easily extrapolate the curves to find out your recovery time. ADT duration of 3-9 months fall roughly on the same curve, and ADT of 18-24 roughly fall on the same

Help! on Pro-stap, tibolone HRT brought back endo pain!? Made me so unwell - anyone relate??
pro-stap monthly injections started November without HRT. Reduced lot of the endo pain (although made my stomach issues/sensitivity to food way worse). Decided to start tibolone HRT 10 weeks into the injections and it caused awful period/endo pain, spotting, flu type symptoms on and off. Only lasted

PSMA PET SCAN AND PSA
I had a disagreement with my RO today and wonder if he is right. My last PSMA PET Scan in Dec 2023 showed no progression. End January onwards I have an on off pain in the left ribcage area with an increasing frequency. To recap....PT3bN1Mx, RP in 2019, IMRT 2020 and on ADT for 30 months, currently completed

Msa 7 months on
The symptoms still kicking on 7 months in. Still out of wheelchair (I'd say just)I've bought a mobility scooter. The council have been really helpful and speech therapy have been excellent. Old friends have been good to catch up with for an hour or so but I don't know if it's common but insomnia and

Testosterone recovery after stopping ADT - 3
This plot shows the % of men who recovered their original testosterone level after stopping Lupron ADT, plotted versus the time (months) after stopping ADT, for three different durations of ADT (4, 6-12, or 24 months). The curves show that a short course of ADT allows men to recover their testosterone

Testosterone Recovery after stopping ADT -2
This plot shows the time after stopping Lupron ADT for the testosterone to recover to the original level for 50% of men, plotted versus Duration of ADT treatment (4 or 24 months). The longer the duration of ADT, the longer it takes to recover the original testosterone level, which makes sense. For

Testosterone Recovery after stopping ADT -1
Here's the first of four plots showing testosterone recovery after stopping Lupron ADT. The testosterone recovers quickest in the first 12 months, but then flattens out after that.

Thoughts on Denosumab in my case
MO is suggesting Denosumab after my Dexa scan. Bone density normal in spine, osteopenia in right hip and osteoporosis on one part of left hip. I am wondering if with a -2.7 it is possible to control/improve with supplements and weight bearing exercises? What are you taking? Have added calcium. The

PSMA PET Scan Frequency?
Hello forum members. This is my first post but have learned so much here, thanks to the contributors on this site. My husband’s last and only PSMA PET scan was 1.5 years ago showing 6 mets in small bones after PSA consistently rose a year after radiation. The standard ADT treatment was prescribed

Treatment Resistant Depressant
I have had depression since my 20’s and likely in teens. I’m now 56 and my meds are no longer working like they once did. I’m going to be meeting with a clinic about other options ie: ECT etc. I’m very scared and anxious as this feels next level to me in my illness. Have you tried ECT and/or Esketamine

Self Anthem - Music therapy
So, I was remembering when I had a major breakdown when my life was falling apart everywhere I turned - after I realized that the life/relationship that I had invested so much of everything into was a big fat lie ... And I started to pick myself up and I heard this song and kept playing it over and over

Well the acupunture doesn't seem to be helping at this stage, have stopped it and trying reflexology and Low level laser therapy. The GP put me on 20mg Norspan patch from 15....it didn't seem to change the effect on my legs at the higher dose but it made me quite nauseated and sweaty and tired on higher

A Neophyte's Experience with a Gummy
Some of you might be interested in my gummy experience. I do not advocate anything here, but just want to share a new experience. Outside of four episodes in my eighty-four plus years, I have not used marijuana or other drugs beyond alcohol, coffee, maté from the Pampas of Argentina, and whatever uppers

Full body MRI?
We’ve been reading about full body MRIs and wonder if anyone has had one after radiation treatment for prostate cancer? Can this type of test pick up micro metastases? If the full body scan was “all clear” could ADT be shortened from 2 years to a lower amount?

Zoladex and flu like symptoms
Hey. This may sound strange but does anyone suffer with flu like symptoms with the Zoladex? For the past 6 months I’ve had a number of ‘colds’ which seem to go straight to my sinuses but I have nothing else apart from feeling bunged up and absolutely no energy and achy. Just wondering if it could be

B12 or Menopause?
In Dec I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency <148 and low folate <2.2. I had 6 loading doses into the beginning of January plus a month of folic acid and felt better quite quickly. Since then I have felt worse again so I had another blood test last week. My b12 is now 559 which is normal and folate is

Struggling with impact on older children
When I was in hospital after PP last summer, I had amazing counselling on offer for me, for my partner, for my bonding with my baby. But, nothing for how my PP episode had impacted my older child. my son, who is now six, started to become very anxious about being left alone. This started when I was
