Working with Stage IV
First time posting (be gentle) Anybody else still at work with the disease. I’ve contributed to a pension for 24 years, and with being diagnosed, am I being foolish staying at work. Note-minimum retirement is 58 at my work. Also, did read this right, ADT only gives about 10 mos. to 1 year increase

Stopping Lupron
Today I’ve had my next medical check. PSA still undetectable after RT IMRT/VMAT to prostate bed and pelvic floor accompanied by 24 months of Lupron. This was my third regimen after DXed in 11/2017, for more details pls refer to my bio. I will now stop Lupron, let’s see what the future will bring.

Why ADT after Ray treatment?
OK, I'm sure there is a logical answer to this question but at present it is evading me. So for all of us who decide to take the ADT path for a few months to stabilize our PCa and then hit it with the big guns such as a month (or more) of IMRT and in my case a follow-up of HDR Brachy Boost therapy,

Does ADT work for Gleason 9?
About to start ADT for Gleason 9 (5+4) for locally advanced prostate cancer, followed by IMRT in 1-2 months. (Plan to ask about HDR boost). PSMA Pet negative for spread but MO had another radiologist look at initial prostate MRI suggests extracapsular extension along neurovascular bundle with possible

Dapagliflozin
I've had high blood pressure for a few years which I take a cocktail of tablets. Now Dapagliflozin has been added. I'm not diabetic. My dentist said to me are you diabetic I reply no. I went to see my GP and was told it will help with my BP. Question is am I taking tablets I don't need. Fed up of feeling

A lightbulb moment
I am currently taking 10mg immediate release Shortec Oxycodone at 6pm, 10pm and again when I need to during the early hours. I manage to get broken sleep which usually equates to 4 hours, which is better than I have had in the past. This works reasonably well, however, from early afternoon my arms

suboxone update
hello all, I wanted to post that since starting the Suboxone, I have had zero RLS and I feel like an all new person. After two decades of suffering, I don’t even think about it anymore. It’s such an incredible feeling to be free of this malady. Plus I’m completely off oxycodone. I take one quarter

restricted urinary flow
Finished IMRT/ SBRT radiation to lymph nodes last week. Since then Ive begun have early AM restricted urinary flow - Very narrow stream. Rad Onc suggested tamsulosin or ibuprophen. MO, tamsulosin. Any work around for the early AM problem that I could take overnight? Ibuprophen has to be taken all

Oxycodone anxiety
After being on Tramadol for 8y and augmenting on it, my doctor switched me to a relatively low dose of 5mg oxycodone immediate release tablet. I’ve been on it for 5 months and it has worked well controlling my RLS. Also, I have taken it strictly as directed to the point of taking it at the exact time

Help with blood tests please - Triglycerides high again
Hi All, Would appreciate help with my recent blood test results please. I am taking 75mcg/100mcg alternate days. Then upped my T3 in April to 12.5mcg per day after blood tests showed high cholesterol. My recent tests show T3 increased from 4.3 to 5.47 so very positive increase. LDL down from 3.4

Levo - am I worrying too much?
First, best wishes to all for Christmas and the New Year. I have been on Levo 100 for seven or so months now - the Accord brand. I got my new order by post about ten days ago and stupidly didn't open the parcel until Christmas day, when I needed to! They sent me Teva, so I have missed two days so far

Update
Thanks for everyones kind help. I have now asked to be reviewed by Haemotology and have emailed my results to the docter asking for an urgent neck ultrasound. No response as yet. I have randomly been given an appointment for a lung function test. If my windpipe is blocked will this show anything? Keep
