Orchiectomy
Anyone in this foum had an actual Orchiectomy?I have been thinking about having this done. I'm 78 and I'm or hormone therapy which in chemical castration (Orchiectomy)so why not do the actual thing. I'm not going to have any more children at my age and I will probably be on hormone therapy for the next

ADT or not for favourable intermediate risk with SBRT
Currently on AS, have repeat tp biopsy in October, this is routine for AS.Treatment advice, if I choose is SBRT but no ADT due to CVD risk as I have chads score 2, had 1 previous stroke in Feb 18 with full recovery, diagnosed May 2020 with paroxysmal AF, had 1 episode since so low burden, bisoprolol

A little humor?
Everyone might have heard this before but I hadn't. Before ADT I had a six pack, now I have a keg.

Distortion of Hba1c test with levo
Hi Someone asked me to give further info about my claim that HbA1c tests cannot be relied upon if you are being treated with levothyroxine. I can't find that request now so I'm starting a new thread. The clearest statement is on the American Thyroid Association website.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS

ADT before Surgery?
I have a prostatectomy which is probably 6-8 weeks in my future. My outlook is that metastasis in imminent. (T3bM0n0 and no evidence of cancer outside the gland as of May 25 PSMA PET scan, but I am told I am intermediate/unfavorable and my PSA went from 10 to 12 in only a month.) Today is August 18.

Confused - who can give me ADT injections?
Need some help with this. I traveled out of town to a Proton treatment Center of Excellence, and it was determined that I would start ADT upon returning home. So I got back home, contacted the RO who had originally seen me and suggested the Proton treatment, then set up an appointment to go into the

"Real Thyroid"
Regard all. I've been treating hypothyroid for many years with Thyroid S (Thailand). I am seeing a new NDT called "Real Thyroid" from Vietnam. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with this. I'm not finding any reviews when I search for them. Love to hear from anyone who uses this or has

T4 in Levo v T4 in NDT
Taking NDT I have often wondered how long the T4 in NDT starts to work and how. In Levo everyone states six weeks before it starts to work. Does anyone have a clue it could be interesting but I cannot find any information on it.

Having an op and NHS freaking out about suppressed TSH
I am having a very minor op under general anaesthetic and NHS have revealed suppressed TSH (0.024). They are basically refusing to operate until I get a Dr to say this is ok in the presence of normal T3 (5.2) and T4 (14.8). The problem is I self medicate with levothyroxine (50mcg daily) and one grain

Second Opinion
Guys, I live in the Greater Cincinnati area and am seeking a second opinion regarding my treatment plan for my Advanced Prostate Cancer. I have been on ADT for 18 months. I started Eligard injections and Xtandi. However, I had a number of cardiac events including a mild heart attack and went off

T3 / NDT
Hi - I'm 39 and have had hashimotos / under active thyroid for 10+ years. I have suffered from 3 miscarriages recently + had 2 poor quality / outcome IVF egg retrievals. I'm on 100mg of levothyroxine, TSH is in range (around 2) but T3 is really at the bottom of the range. I don't think I'm converting

Anyone out there in south Essex recently had NDT removed by their endocrinologist
I'd like to contact anyone else in the same area and situation as myself as I have recently had my NHS Armour prescription removedly a new endocrinologist. Please pm me if you're in this boat. I need T3 and it seems I may get Levo + Lio - anyone taking this instead of NDT with success? I am so scared

PSA drop after ADT
My PSA went from 14.9 ug/l in May to 5.9 ug/l in June to 0.24 ug/l when tested 2 days ago after Lupron injection 3 months ago. Naturally I'm very relieved over the drop.My oncologist has pretty much left the decision to me on the ADT duration. I had earlier voiced my reservation about ADT on account

ADT and Headaches
To all, I may have mentioned it before, but I've had low-level but disruptive headaches since I started ADT along with low RBC/Hemoglobin/Hematocrit. Also as a diabetic, I've been on metformin for many years, thus depleting my B12 levels. I've talked to my doctors about this, and the only solution

Barcelona PC Docs
I am looking for a recommendation of a good prostate cancer doctor and facility in Barcelona. I am finishing up two years or ADT (Lupron and Xtandi) after RALP and radiation and want to spend some time there. Monitoring and maintenance mode. Any thoughts?
