Beat Prostate Cancer
I was reading some clinical trial data the other day. To summarize, the treatment being tested did not pass muster. It worked marginally better than standard of care but not well enough to change standard of care. The irony of the study concerned overall survival and progression free survival. The control

Any Advice On Dosing NDT?
I've started Armour thyroid. My first dose I take at 7.30am (on waking) and have breakfast 9-9.30am (a late breakfast because I benefit from doing a 14 hour intermittent fasting window). My doctor advises I take my second dose of NDT 2-3pm. But if I need to have an empty stomach when I take the

Reliable Thyroid S suppliers please.
As per rules please only message by chat. I'm wanting to try NDT my current T4 +T3 regime isn't working and my suppressed TSH causes stress with GP and Endo. Thanks in advance.

NDT, atrial fibrillation, and a self-proclaimed 'thyroid guru' in hospital pushing the T4 and TSH narrative
Whilst I was an inpatient with atrial fibrillation, and had spiked a high T3 reading and caused panic in the heart unit about my use of Natural Dessicated Pork Thyroid (NDT) medication (prescribed by my GP who was on holidays), to reassure my cardiologist (who really cared) I agreed to see a consultant

I survived
last 18 months have been crazy. So sick. gp/ endo nearly killed me. Full blown myxedema coma most of past 6.5 yrs. By some luck, after 6.5 yrs of of startlingly bad medical care I only just found a good GP surgery, they are slowly piecing me back together on T3. Lotta sleeping & serious despair that

PSA Rising While on ADT and Abiraterone
I started Abiraterone in November 2022 and my PSA was 3.83. Over the last few months it dropped to 2.71, 2.50 and then 3.02 and now 3.28. Does this mean I am not responding to the Abiraterone any longer. I have only been on it for 3.5 months. Am I doing something that is interfering with the drug.

Input Needed.
Hi, Looking for some communal input from this knowledgeable forum. First, some bullet point history to help fine tune the responses: • I was diagnosed with advanced stage, mPC in mid-2020. I have a rare type of PC that does not exhibit elevated PSA. It’s very aggressive and difficult to treat. My PSA

ASCO 23 - Transdermal square-wave testosterone therapy
This might interest followers of BAT. As you no doubt know, Denmeade's BAT cycle is a 28-day modulation of testosterone [T] from ~2,000 ng/dL down to near castrate. The BAT cycle typically begins with a T-cypionate injection into muscle. In the new pilot study, T was delivered daily, transdermally

useful 'Evidence' that TSH between 0.04 - 0.4 has no increased risk to patients on Levothyroxine (UPDATED~new study does show small risk)
This paper forms part of the evidence base for the current NHS thyroid treatment guidelines , it was referenced as evidence to back up their concerns about "low TSH /overtreatment with levo/ risk to bones and heart" ( so they cannot say it is 'not good enough evidence' when you put it under their

Duration of ADT needed with salvage radiation
6 months? 24 months? New data from the "Formula 509" trial shows that hormone intensification with adjuvant apalutamide+abiraterone+ADT for just 6 months with salvage radiation therapy (SRT) may be all that's needed: https://www.prostatecancer.news/2023/02/duration-of-adt-needed-with-salvage.html

Choose Capivasertib or 177Lu-PSMA-617 clinical trial or stick with ADT + radiation?
Hi Folks, My PSA is up to 49 from 24 last summer. After bone scan, CT scan indicated 3 sites of mets (2 on pelvis, 1 on L5, overall “low volume”). Otherwise feeling great, working out most days. 58. I was finally able to get in this month to see a Medical Oncologist. Starting on ADT next week. Meeting

what is the role of a MO?
When does a MO get added to the team and who adds them (self refer, RO, other?)? Generally speaking I mean. I’ve had RP, recurrence, ADT, salvage radiation. No one has ever referenced involvement by MO at any stage and RO seems to suggest he’ll handle it all if PSA rises. Is MO a “last ditch” team

adding Alendronic acid side effects ?
I am wondering what others have experience when on Zoladex ADT (4.5 months of 24 + RT) of adding Alendronic acid (for osteoporosis) Had first one 5 days ago and am having muscle pain - seems rather quick and wondering if it’s the Zoladex accumulation and is the muscle and fatigue just getting worse

For the last year I have had ongoing health issues. A burst ulcer, constant chest infections, and most recently a TIA and atrial afibulation. My GP says none of it is connected to my Hashimoto’s . I have been self medicating with NDT for a number of years very successfully with no problems. I was paying

IVF when on NDT/Armour
Hi all, I'm considering starting another IVF cycle but i'm now on NDT/Armour Thyroid. I've got Hashimoto's. My TSH needs to be 0.38-2.5 for me to start treatment, but my last bloods showed my TSH as under 0.38 because of the T3 i'm on. I'm going to ask my thyroid doc to write a letter to my clinic

looking for 1st hand experiences of ViewRay SBRT treatments.intermediate risk, no hormone therapy
I’m scheduled for treatment by Dr. Nagar (Weill-Cornell/NYCPresby), and so far I’ve gotten little info from them (but have requested the info ) I’ll have my family in NY for the week, and my wife is very unsure what to expect. Does anyone have a day to day account of how things went? And post treatment

Is it normal after receiving two firmagon shots in the abdomen for the injection areas to be hard?
Well good news bad news. I qualified for a cutting edge trial at Yale, unfortunately they won’t let me do it until I’m back on a SOC ADT drug for two months. I bit the bullet because I’m allowed to stay on the estrogen gel to control the hot flashes. I had my first firmagon shots Tuesday. Two needles
