wondering if traction for back is advised while on ADT
my nutty question, I have a back stretcher and it will pull vertebrae apart. U can do same by lying flat on a table gradually pulling yourself forward till abdomen and chest are perpendicular to floor and arms touching. Try at your own risk. I am not a doctor just an orthopedic nightmare with hundreds

Castration resistant in just a year? Normal or not? Provenge in my future.
I'm already "mildly symptomatic castration resistant." PSA tripled in the last 30 days (but still extremely low), after doubling in the prior 3 months. I was diagnosed with stage 4b (mets in multiple bones and nodes) ductal and started ADT 13 months ago. Nubeqa and Docetaxel (Triplet therapy) started

Dr Georgina Conway or any other recommendations?
Dear Friends, Please could anyone PM me any thoughts on Georgina Conway or any other good options for a sympathetic endocrinologist. I have given up with the NHS and want to try T3 or NDT if it is deemed appropriate. If it were possible to find someone who would treat me initially privately and then

please can someone advise?
I’ve posted here a few times of late, been feeling rough and exhausted since switching from Levo to Erfa 5 weeks ago. I’ve emailed the private doctor to get some advice as to whether the dose is correct she put me on. She’s said my question re doseage isn’t easy to answer and also she charges £20 for

T3 only
Hi all, I was just curious, those on T3 only, how did you go about switching to T3 only, what dose do you take and do you feel much better than on levo? This is the only thing I haven't tried other than NDT. Just thinking about it. Thank you.

Ugg, can we talk erections
So, even with Cialis I am having issues getting erect and certainly having an orgasm. Some questions for the group: 1. How much of this is the hormone therapy? Meaning, likely by now (more than 2mths on ADT) my testo has dropped very very far right? 2. Why doesnt Cialis help? 3. What is my outcome

IVF medication following BFP for those with POF?
Hi everyone Hoping to find a consensus re: dates of stopping hormone treatment for those with premature ovarian failure going through IVF. Recently thrilled to get a BFP following D5 DE FET (still early days, only 4.5 weeks along). My clinic seem to adopt a 'one-size fits all' approach and stops progesterone

Provenge criteria necessary for acceptance.
Apparently Medicare will pay for Provenge provided we are castrate resistant and metastatic. But are there other requirements like certain PSA parameters and lower testosterone levels? Do we have to remain on ADT while being treated with Provenge?

Radiation treatment for gynecomastia? Anyone?
As we all know, ADT treatments can cause a side effect known as gynecomastia. I am experiencing gynecomastia after being on Orgovyx and am considering the radiation treatment for it. Has anyone out there done the radiation treatment for gynecomastia? How did it work out for you? Did you experience

Emotional lability and LT ADT
At certain times of extra stress, like awaiting a PSA test result, I have gotten into wrist-slap trouble by making awkward humor and remarks to Clinic staff. They get PO'ed and tattle to my MO. It's really not like me and the latest incident prompted me to look into ADT and emotional SE's. Bingo!

Aetna appeal for Firmagon denial
My husband was diagnosed with high risk aggressive prostate cancer, Gleason 9. Plus one para rectal node positive. The doctor prescribed 2 years of ADT plus 5 weeks of IMRT. Had first 240 mg dose of firmagon on September 14 with no major side effects so far. Doctor used firmagon to avoid testosterone

Out of Date Erfa NDT
Hello, Can anyone tell me if they have taken out-of-date NDT? I have read that it may just be a little less effective but not harmful. Is this the case?

Sudden eyebrow loss
Has anyone else experienced sudden eyebrow loss since commencing treatment for hypothyroidism? I’ve been on NDT for six months and in the last month my (usually thick) eyebrows are incredibly sparse.

What is role of hormonal therapy drug when taken with targeted therapy, eg Piqray or Ibrance?
I’ve been curious about this and wondering if anyone can explain. I want to better understand the role of the hormone therapy eg Faslodex when taken with targeted therapy such as Ibrance. Does it just reduce the amount of estrogen available to the cell and “lightens the load” on the targeted therapy?

Will lowering T3 dose raise TSH?
I have been treated for hypothyroidism for the last 51 years, since the birth of my first child. For 12 years, T3 only, for 18 years T4 only, and for 19 years T3 only (since menopause). When I got a diagnosis for osteoporosis, I asked to have a T4 supplement for a T4/T3 ratio that would slow the parathyroids

Insulin
Im reading about Insulin and diabetics are more prone to PCa. What's the consensus on insulin with peeps that already have PCa? Im now on insulin until I can stop L/Z/P, or change to another ADT.
