When to consider Chemo?
I’ve just started my journey fighting advanced PCa and am hoping for some advice from you guys who have lots of knowledge and experience. After a PSA result of 13.0, I had an MRI of the pelvic area and was diagnosed with Stage 4 advanced PCa in May 2022. Gleason 8, LN involvement and a quite large (

viagra
I’m taking Felodipine for slightly raised BP and it’s working well . Unfortunately it’s causing some mild ED. I’ve tried other BP meds but can’t tolerate them. I had an ablation for AF nearly 12 months ago which has been successful. The urologist is suggesting viagra or similar. I’m worried it

Dosing with Potassium Chloride
Hello, The potassium/sodium balance is identified as an important driver of high blood pressure. This is what I believe underlies recommendations to consume fresh fruit and veg to help high bp. The only issue is that with busy lives etc it is sometimes difficult to keep up with the 5/day recommendation

Does IMRT cause incontinence?
My doctor seems to think that a course of 9 weeks of IMRT on my Lymph node area and prostate to treat prostate cancer is not likely to cause incontinence for me. I'm 60 and I'm not sure he is right. When I think of causing incontinence I am concerned also in the long run. If in 10 years I would have

I'm 84 and diagnosed with PC 5 months ago. I was told I had High Risk Localized PC with a Gleason score of 8.
I was put on Firmagon immediately and took 45 radiation IMRT sessions, which I just finished. Although the pet and bone scans showed no signs of spread outside the prostate, I am also taking 500mg of Zytiga with 5mg of Prednisone as a precaution, . I also take .4 mg Flomax (I no longer have fainting

Thoughts on Treatment to Date
I was diagnosed in October 2021, Gleason 8 in 4 cores of 13 of which were 15%-75% involved. PSA at diagnosis was 4.3. Initial biopsy read by Wellstar (GA) and re-read by Dr Epstein at JH. JH detected cribriform morphology and PNI. Based on the biopsy readings, I was borderline cT2 or T3a. Decifer

Cholesterol and hypothyroidism
I was wondering if there is any relationship between these, had mine checked they aren’t like really bad but my HDL is a bit low and my total cholesterol is a bit high. I don’t know, could be diet related also.

UCSF PSMA PET Update Location of Recurrence Low PSA

Blood Pressure tablets.
Can anyone help in regard to blood pressure tablets that do not have much in the way of side-effects. Currently I am taking Bendroflumethiazide 2.5mg which are fine. Because my blood pressure is now slightly raised I need to take a different tablet. I have tried Amlodipine and Rampril 2.5 mg - both
