uPSA < 0.003 ng/ml PSA: How low should it go?
My last measured test level PSA 0.007ng/ml And radiotherapy still works and can further reduce PSA. Now I take an eligard which also lowers the PSA. I have an idea to start taking Casodex 150 for a double blockade. My goal is to lower uPSA further and reach a level of uPSA <0.003 where the cancer

A biochemical definition of cure after brachytherapy for prostate cancer - Radiotherapy and Oncology, Published: April 27, 2020
Looks like 4 years of <0.2 PSA post-treatment gets you a "biochemical cure". (= disease-free beyond 10 years.)
[i]Study Highlights[/i] [i]• Close to 80% of men 4–5 years after LDR prostate brachytherapy will achieve a PSA of 0.2 ng/ml or less.[/i] [i]• PSA ≤ 0.2 ng/ml is associated with 97–99%

Comparing Benefit and Costs for Abiraterone and Enzalutamide in Hormone-Sensitive and Castrate-Resistant Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Hemorrhoids FlareUp
So guys after quite a while with internal hemorrhoids which I managed to get rid of a couple of weeks ago, I have adopted a new diet with lots more fluid, fibre and vegetables in an attempt to lose some weight gained over covid.

CAPD & Epilepsy
Hi, I have epilepsy and CKD stage 5, in the U.K. transplants are on hold because of covid-19. I have been put on CAPD as temporary measure as egfr is 9! I have noticed that when I’m on my second or third drain my epilepsy comes on I go blank and I struggle to think. Apparently there is no known link

Oral thrush
I know that this is an issue that is frequently discussed on the forum. I’ve just discovered that after weeks of sore gums thinking it was something a dentist needed to look at that it is in fact thrush. I got some Daktarin gel from the pharmacy but it stings where the discomfort is at its worst. Is

After coronavirus, another hidden respiratory disease lurks in the buildings we left behind.
Global outbreaks of coronavirus have forced the closing of schools, gyms, offices and other buildings at a scale never seen before. Now, as countries start reopening after lockdown, those previously abandoned buildings could have become a breeding ground for another infection – Legionnaires’ disease.

Oral thrush and Inhaled steroids
Hi there, I’m on high dose a Relvar and Incruse and I have oral thrush permanently. I use Daktarin oral gel which makes it more bearable. If I stop the Daktarin gel for even a day then it becomes much worse. Ive also had short courses of fluconazole...which work great but within a week the thrush is

Constipation
I am baffled by my constipation. I eat healthy fruit, vegetables, oats and drink plenty of water and make sure I get out for a walk at least once a day but I still get blocked. Not been able to go now for 3 days and taking Dulcolax and Laxido to help. I wish I could manage it by diet alone. I have

How long did it take for Rectogesic to help?
Hi, I have been prescribed rectogesic ointment for an anal fissure. I’ve had pain with bowel movement for 5 months now and was just wondering if anyone else has used rectogesic GTN cream and how long did they take it to get any relief ?

I’ll try keep it short, lots of blood with bowl movements to the point it will drip for 40 mins and has sometimes required 2 towels to stop the bleeding. I went to hospital to A&E and they said they can’t do anything as bleeding has stopped and I have piles which I was shocked about. This has been on

Covid-19 and acute kidney injury in hospital: summary of NICE guidelines.
Acute kidney injury (AKI), a sudden reduction in kidney function, is seen in some people with covid-19 infection. A subset of patients develop severe AKI and require renal replacement therapy (RRT).
