Newly diagnosed thinking of trying metavive.
I’m a 50 year old male and I’ve been experiencing a variety of symptoms for probably the last 4 years looking back. I didn’t even realise the thyroid was such an important organ. I used to be in the gym out running regularly but probably for the last 3-4 years these symptoms have got progressively worse

Where to buy ndt?
I'm on Levaxin since 2012, still having alot of symtoms and in sweden ndt is rarely prescribed. I've tried with my doctor and it's a firm no. I've bought it online before and got the links from helpful users on here. Can anyone help me with links to where you can buy ndt without prescription? Thanks

Armour NDT, possible problems
I’m currently taking Armour NDT 1 grain in the morning and 3/4s in the afternoon. My bloods are really good and my symptoms have definitely improved. However, I’ve been having some problems such as feeling nauseous off and on through the day and also the odd day where my bowels are really loose and

Gleason Score 5+5
My gleason score is 5+5 =10. I watched Dr.Scholtz's talk who mentioned 5+5 case is rare and I happened to be one of them. My problems are like a full truck and wonder if that is the reason why my PSA remains above 7 after RP. Cancerous cell seems have spread to lymphnodes as i heard it prodcues PSA

Xtandi (enzalutamide) +ADT slows metastases in recurrent men
We recently saw that ADT+Erleada (apalutamide) slows progression compared to ADT alone. https://www.prostatecancer.news/2022/09/short-term-androgen-annihilation-in-non.html Now we have proof that ADT+Xtandi (enzalutamide) slows the appearance of metastases and delays castration resistance in recurrent

Firmagon Injection gone bad!
Husband got his first hormone injection yesterday to begin treatment which will include 45 Radiation Therapy sessions. He got the first shot, everything seemed ok, got the second shot and BP dropped like a rock. Could not wake him up. They called 911 took him to the hospital. He is home and doing OK

Back on ADT
Restarted ADT 3/15/23 with my Lupron shot followed quickly with Xtandi 160mg daily. My PSA peaked to 3.36 on 3/7/23 and then 4/3/23 1.65 5/1/23 .34 So hoping the trend continues downward. Not sure if a slow or quick drop is better on recurrence. My RO said, when asked, "lower is better". Its getting

I just began the Eclipse Clinical Trial and will be posting my experiences here. Please share yours too.
I live in Southern California, but applied for acceptance into the Eclipse Trial in Miami Florida. The criteria was that I had to be castrate resistant and failed at first generation ADT, as well as second generation ADT. Plus that I had to have a minimum PSA of 2.0 with two consecutive rises one week
