Silly Questions??
1) Why do some advanced prostate cancer patients get offered "vacations", from ADT and others don't? 2) Why do some advanced prostate cancer patients have NO Chemo, and go directly to ADT + Abiraterone+Prednisone, while others begin treatment with chemo and radiation? What are the deciding criteria

Low cortisol, low T3 results-pls advise, terrified I’ll have to stop work as just exhausted
hi.. I’m on levo 100mg for at least a year now, been diagnosed hypothyroid for 2 years I think. . Had these tests done privately dec 2023. Previous test a year before saw lower TSH - seemed to have climbed up, and higher T3 than before. I haven’t shown to GP yet- partly cos just depressed and exhausted

Allergic reaction to Doxil, my first ever chemo infusion
Hi everyone, Has anyone experienced an allergic reaction to Doxil? Almost three years ago, I was diagnosed with stage 4 MBC. After being on hormone therapy for over two years, mostly IBrance and Letrozole, and then oral chemo for six months, my most recent petscan showed the cancer is still spreading

Ectopics - one after the other. So scared
Hi everyone. I posted on this forum a few years ago and everyone was so helpful. I wonder if anyone could offer some advice/reassurance? Quick back sorry. I had an SVT around 2.5 years ago and ended up in hospital. Had all tests and nothing wrong. Was put on 1.25mg Bisoprolol which made me horribly

Any suggestions please.
Hello. I wonder if you would be kind enough to give me your views on my latest results please. I currently take 100mcg thyroxine at bedtime. My GP withdrew my T3 ( 5mcg) around 5 years ago. Apparently it doesn't work and was too expensive. I feel dreadful. I'm underweight with a BMI of 18 and on top

No Osteoporosis with Estrogen Patch Therapy
These plots compare results from the Phase-II randomized trial (PATCH) comparing estrogen patch therapy to Lupron ADT. These plots show that Lupron ADT causes bone loss, while estrogen patch therapy has either no bone loss or increased bone mineral density (BMD) over time. Bob

Castration by Estrogen Patch
This plot shows a dramatic decrease in testosterone and PSA after starting estrogen patch therapy, indicating that transdermal estrogen (TDE) therapy effectively castrates men, and with fewer side effects than Lupron ADT.

Need a group therapy or people to chat about social anxiety disorder. Thanks
Hi, I am EL and suffer from social anxiety disorder. I am introverted and fear being exposed to the public, interacting with people for more than a few minutes, or even struggle looking at people in the eyes. I tend to get my hands and armpits sweaty when I get anxious along with shortness of breath.

The paradigm has shifted - castrate resistance.
It now appears that I’ve entered the land of castrate resistance and further ADT vacations are no longer in the plan. My T level recovered much more quickly during the last vacation than during previous vacations, and my PSA rose correspondingly. At 4 months my T level was 325 and my PSA was 4. Another

gold markers
you cannot do any of the following
salvage treatments in case of a reoccurrence
: Proton therapy, Hifu, Tulsa Pro , Etc. Is this true???? Again a significant fact left out before treatment...

My father was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer four years ago. Initially, he underwent radiation for a few spots on his ribs and immediately began ADT/Xtandi treatment for two years. His PSA dropped to 0.001, prompting his medical oncologist to recommend a medication vacation. For two years, he

Surgery and weight
hi guys. I have a really large ovarian cyst. A whopping 30cm. I was originally told it was most likely cancer until I had a CT scan which confirmed it was not cancer. I also have some fluid on my pelvis. I’m booked into have surgery on the 13th and I am absolutely riddled with fear. I’m currently a size

Testosterone Recovery for 50% of Men
Here's an updated plot of Testosterone recovery time for 50% of men after stopping Lupron ADT, as a function of ADT duration. For ADT durations less than 20 months, the curve is basically linear with a slope = 1.0 (green line), meaning that the Recovery Time for 50% of men is roughly equal to the ADT

Thanks to Tall_Allen for providing lots of extra data for this plot: https://www.prostatecancer.news/2023/04/intermittent-adt.html You can easily extrapolate the curves to find out your recovery time. ADT duration of 3-9 months fall roughly on the same curve, and ADT of 18-24 roughly fall on the same

Help! on Pro-stap, tibolone HRT brought back endo pain!? Made me so unwell - anyone relate??
pro-stap monthly injections started November without HRT. Reduced lot of the endo pain (although made my stomach issues/sensitivity to food way worse). Decided to start tibolone HRT 10 weeks into the injections and it caused awful period/endo pain, spotting, flu type symptoms on and off. Only lasted

Testosterone recovery after stopping ADT - 3
This plot shows the % of men who recovered their original testosterone level after stopping Lupron ADT, plotted versus the time (months) after stopping ADT, for three different durations of ADT (4, 6-12, or 24 months). The curves show that a short course of ADT allows men to recover their testosterone
