Doxazosin & Adverse Side Effects
Does anyone take Doxazosin to treat high blood pressure? I also take Indapamide and Irbesartan. However, I've been having quite a bit of persistent abdominal pain over the last couple of weeks. I've been on the Doxazosin for approx 3-4 weeks. I've just had a read through side effects and abdominal

Practical suggestions post EBRT and seeds
So, I know that radiation can knock one to the ground big time (continence, bowel, etc.). I start IMRT soon; followed by "booster" seeds shortly thereafter. To those of you who have been through this: what should I expect? what products have you used for continence and bowel "issues"? The thought

Trying to reduce cholestrol while staying gluten free
Hi I have Hashimoto disease so I decided to go gluten free about a year ago. I was on 100mg but now been reduced to 75mg all good. The other day I was sent to hospital with a possible TIA (small stroke) I had a CT and neck scan and nothing showed up? However the doctors despite this want to give me statins

ASTRO, ASCO, & AUA strongly endorse a shortened course of IMRT for primary therapy
They strongly endorsed moderate hypofractionation (20 or 26 treatments) but only conditionally endorsed SBRT because they didn't consider any data after 3/31/2017. I think SBRT will receive a strong endorsement by this time next year. There is no reason any patient should have to suffer through and pay

Book recommendation
I’ve been living with a cancer diagnosis since November 19, 2008. What a journey! Recently, the nurse for my oncologist at the Proton Center in Jacksonville, Fla., where I had 19 proton beam treatments, 18 IMRT radiation treatments, and 7 taxotere treatments from March -May 2009, called me. She said

Correlation between start of Lupron and start of RT
in my case Eligard. RO seems adamant about starting IMRT right at the 2 month mark from my 6 month Eligard injection. I am not getting the reasoning. (plan on asking him next week) common sense would make one wonder, why not start RT at 4 months? 3months? Is PC more radio sensitive at 2 months than 4
