Should I be concerned about a PSA of 0.53 after SBRT treatment for one spot.

0.53.

T3 only and feeling a bit desperate
I have been taking T3 only for a handful of years now and for a couple of them on a LCHF diet I was happy enough. I lost weight, and felt good. In October 2020 I restarted HRT (I still had/have) hot flushes, but within 2 months I had started to gain weight and on balance I thought that I would rather

Palpitations/Nattokinase/Serrapeptase
I was looking for some information regarding Nattokinase and Serrapeptase. I have had palpitations on and off for about 2 years. About a year ago I went I to see a cardiologist privately. He said there is nothing wrong with my heart but probably caused by stress. I've suffered from stress and anxiety

Appt at Lipids Clinic and discussion about thyroid levels
So I had an appointment this morning at the Lipids Clinic, referred by GP, as total cholesterol was 8.7, when annual thyroid bloods taken earlier this year. I said to GP that I didn’t want to automatically go onto statins because of counter-indications and that I thought perhaps I should increase

Drug Holidays
I’m among the relatively fortunately RLS sufferers that along with gabapentin can get decent relief from a 5mg dose of oxycodone immediate release. However, I am very concerned about limiting my dependence to this drug due to its power and am determined to avoid having this dosage increased. I believe

Scientists say mystery of how red wine headaches occur may be solved
Thought this could be relevant on at least two grounds: First, so many members say they have issues tolerating alcoholic drinks, especially red wine. And it is specifically in this respect that I am posting. Not ordinary excessive drinking. Second, there are numerous posts here which advocate taking

Diarrhea after 8th IMRT
Hello, We were told one of the side effects of radiation could be diarrhea. My husband has felt the effects after his last 2 treatments. I was reading that the use of strong probiotics like VSL #3 helped patients. Any thoughts on this issue? Did it go away after the first two weeks or did it get worse
