What's normal with private consultations and NHS records?
My question is:- If one sees a consultant doctor privately, who then prescribes medication and informs the patient's GP of what he has prescribed, is it usual for that information to be added to the patient's medical record? I have been consulting a private endocrinologist who has been helping me to

Rising PSA...again..
In December 2017 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer after a biopsy. I ignored the symptoms for many years and it cost me. In February 2018 I had surgery to remove my prostate hoping that would cure me, PSA never went to 0. By December 2019 I was alarmed enough to start ADT with Elegard and in February

Osteoporosis and HRT
I was diagnosed 3 years ago with osteopenia which has now progressed to osteoporosis, though frankly my recent DEXA report is so unclear that I'm waiting for word from my doctor to interpret it. My question is about hormone replacement and osteoporosis. I've been listening to podcasts with Dr. Felice

Test Results
Hi Everyone I would be grateful for any comments about my recent test results. I’m confused. Briefly I have been hypothyroid for 17 years, I was on Levo but for the last 10 years I have been taking NDT which has been great. I’ve received a text saying I must see the doctor, they say I’m over

When to start ADT, Salvage radiation or both for BCR after PSMA Petscan shows nothing?
Post RRP in 2009 and now having BCR with PSA rising to .20 over the last couple years, I was offered and opted for a PSMA Petscan to see if there was an identifiable spot of recurrence that could be treated early. The PSMA scan came back with no indication of the PSA source, so now I am wondering about

Testosterone & RLS
I was aware of mild RLS from about age 10 nearly 62 years ago. Occasionally, I could control it by autosuggestion. Dramatically, this RLS stopped when I had reached puberty, 3 years later. It emerged 62 years later, immediately radiotherapy and hormone therapy for prostrate cancer commenced in 2012

e2 patch
well I finally got to meet with y Oncologist last week regarding use of estradiol (e2) patch to battle against osteoporosis / osteopenia because the 90 day Xgeva dosing (down from every 28 daysx 2 years) doesn't seem to be doing much. He claims the possible cardiovascular side effects from the PATCH

Study: Addition of Short-term ADT Fails to Improve Survival over Radiotherapy Alone for Intermediate-Risk PCa
This is a very interesting large-scale study but it is only one study. Here's the Scoop: "The addition of short-term androgen deprivation (STAD) to dose-escalated radiotherapy did not improve overall survival (OS) for patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer, although the regimen did produce

Hormonal therapy and Meningioma brain tomors
Back in 2016 I was diagnosed with stage 4A (regionally metastatic) Ductal Prostate Cancer. In addition to surgery and radiation I was on Lupron and Zytiga with prednisone for a couple of years, ending in late 2018. Luckily for me it looks like I was able to make it to remission. Unfortunately in 2019

Enzalutamide plus leuprolide reduces risk of metastasis in nonmetastatic HSPC men-from Urology Times, 29 Apr 2023

EMBARK trial
Watching the results of the EMBARK trial with great interest as they had a ‘Lutamide monotheraoy’ arm that has performed very well and now questions are being asked about needing ADT for high risk of BCR in the hormone sensitive. Not matching my position of course ( there is no population that does)

Orchidectomy?
I have no plans to have an orchidectomy but I’m curious why some men do get them. I get that it allows one to avoid needing the periodic injections. But as I understand it one still has to take something to deal with the testosterone that is still produced by the adrenal glands even after the orchidectomy

ART Effect Of Adjuvant And Salvage Radiotherapy After Radical Prostatectomy On Urinary Continence
Well, I am 'continent' according to the criteria in this study (a bit old, but not ancient)...of course continence here is defined as "[i]no pads or one safety pad.[/i]" OK. Now, I went into sRT with a safety pad and was warned by my RO that this had a chance of being 'locked in.' I proceeded anyway

Dreams, dreams, dreams
I have been receiving Lupron shots every three months and taking Xtandi daily for a little more than a year. This follows a RALP and 36 days of radiation, all parts of my doctors’ kitchen sink strategy. No doubt there is a lot going on in my body. One of the most persistent side effects, however,

Natural Desiccated thyroid
I wondered if anyone in the UK has tried natural desiccated thyroid and if so what brand they used. I'm only on 25mcg but have really struggled with terrible side effects. I'm now wheat and dairy free but still not right. Any information would be much appreciated.

Casodex
Is anyone doing only Casodex for their ADT together with their salvage rad? Are there any disadvantages for a six month course? Seems like it would make T recovery less of a problem.
