ART Long-Term Mortality Low Regardless of Treatment in Local Prostate Cancer
Amazing! The headline states that there is ‘low’ mortality regardless of treatment for local PCa…really? Well, that did not make me feel very good as I opted for treatment! RP, followed by ADT for 6 months, followed by IMRT sRT, followed by 15 months of ADT post treatment…I was not feeling so good

Atorvastatin and raised blood sugar
I was on simvastatin 40mg for many years and 2 years ago my Dr changed my medication to 20mg atorvastatin. My blood sugar has increased to the point of needing lifestyle changes. Has anyone noticed the link between statins and diabetes or is it just me?

How low can you go ? Blood pressure GP policy and general guidance
Hi I have had high blood pressure for over 20 years. At some point in my late 20s (I am now 51), a GP decided I met the criteria for high blood pressure and prescribed medication. For most of the next 20 years I had an annual or semi annual check at the surgery and a blood test every year. They would

Are we Survivors Or Warriors?
When signing up for a local 5K walk/run that benefits PC, I had the option of a regular runner or to sign up as a Survivor. I guess I got caught up with word Survivor - having stage 4 cancer and after 9 weeks of IMRT last year and now entering my second year of ADT, I feel like a Warrior, yes I've

Post EP Ablation
I went into AF after getting sick from food poisoning/belly bug in early Feb23. I stayed in AF and had shortness of breath after being released from hospital. I was put on Diltiazem at that time. I saw my heart dr early Mar23. Then a week later I saw my heart rhythm dr. He put me on Propafenone

E.D. with cirrhosis
Do any men here take E.D. medication who have cirrhosis? If so, what meds, what stage cirrhosis? Experience and advice please.Is tadalafil (Cialis) less harsh on the liver than sildenafil (Viagra)? Other options? Of course I won't take anything without being given by my doctor.

12.5mg Losartan effective?
Has anyone taken 12.5mg Losartan for blood pressure? Currently on 25mg but it’s making me so dizzy and woozy and bp is reading about 115/67. Hoping I can persuade doctor to reduce it

VLDL results - confusing
For the last five years or so, I’ve had slightly high cholesterol , e.g. 5.7 mmol/l total, 3.4 LDL but good 1.9 HDL, 0.9 triglycerides and total/HDL ratio of 3. I get tested once a year or so. I’m not overweight and am active, etc., but I do want to bring that LDL down and made a few changes such as
