Just finished first meeting with radiation oncologist. What he proposed as next steps
Given my PSA of ".38" 22 months following robotic radical prostatectomy and with a "low risk" Decipher RP score, I had my first meeting today with a local radiation oncologist (Dr. Michcael Ray - ThedaCare Cancer Center Appleton Wisconsin). I have my first call with a urologist from an academic hospital

AA query follow up
Many thanks for the replies to my recent post.All helpful. I’ve spoken to the rheumy and been prescribed risedronate. Rugger has been taking this with no bad effects so it looks good. Btw, on the phone consultation I mentioned I had a slight headache. It’s really nothing much and a slight jaw ache

Frequency of PSA Tests?
Hello all. I love you guys, but I figure while my PSA is undetectable, I’m going to take a break from this forum and try to get back to some level of normalcy, psychologically and emotionally. There will be plenty of time to read up and plan my next course of action when my PSA returns. Hopefully that

familial hypercholesterolemia
Hi all I hope you are all coping OK with everything that's going on at the moment. I was doing OK with my cholesterol levels until I stopped smoking and it went from under 5 with no meds to over 6 and a big weight gain so put on meds, I had my routine bloods done and my liver function was of skew, I

Cholesterol and thyroid test results
Following on from my post 4 months ago - my GP agreed to raise my thyroxine dose to 100mcg and see what happened to my cholesterol. I feel a little bit better for the raised levothyroxine but still get very tired in the afternoon and evening (basically only have any energy in the morning) and still

rise of bg with LCHF
I am using LCHF diet already 4 years. It worked well, but during last 2 months I have often higher bg before lunch in spite of eating the same breakfast each day. Today I have 6,9 mmol/l (125 mg/dl). Usually I have between 5,6-5,9mmol/l. What is cause of such rise of bg ? Not food but may be less

Magnesium Chloride Flakes for RLS?
Hi all! I was trying to find out online if Epson's salt baths could work for RLS and I found something far better: Magnesium Chloride Flakes. Many people try Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salts) for pain relief but according to what I read, those who use Magnesium Chloride Flakes ultimately find longer lasting

Clofazimine
Hi there, I really would love to hear from fellow patients who having or had NTM treatment. It has been suggested that Clofazimine would possibly be effective in my treatment. This really worries me though as the almost definite side effect is skin discolouration. Would really appreciate anyone who

Anyone not following LCHF
Is it just me? It is clear that not everyone on this site is following the same diet; there are maintainers and there are dieters following different guidelines to maintain or lose weight. Yet, I am left with the feeling that if I do not support and adhere to a LCHF diet, then I am …. I am not quite

New Here and Glad I’ve found this Group – Anyone done Proton Therapy?
Intro Info – I’m 66 relatively good health, obviously gay. During a routine physical I had a slightly elevated PSA score of 4.3 so my primary care doctor recommended me to a Urologist. After some discussion we decided to do a biopsy. The result from the 12 cores was not what I wanted to hear. I was hoping

Is There “SBRT” for Lymph Nodes
My RO says while my bone mets can be zapped in a few days my para-aortic lymph nodes will take about 28 days of radiation (has to do with proximity to the bowels). I recall that SBRT could have brought my 30 days of IMRT radiation treatments to my prostate down to 5 or so treatments. Is there an equivalent

Disappointed
Three weeks ago after discovering this site , I started on the lchf diet . I was elated when I quickly lost almost 2.3 kg . However weight loss has now skidded to a halt and to top it all I’m having trouble with constipation which is making me miserable . Anybody got any ideas ?

Hello!
New person to board looking for a Gay (happy?) perspective. 60 year old. Gleason Score 7, MRI 2 spots RADS 4 1x1, & RADS 5 1x2, 27cm3 total. PSA last time was 10 and rising (Feb). Looking to get it treated. Have Chrohn's Disease so two surgeries (scar tissue) mean that robotic surgery is not a thing.
