Regret going to group therapy. Overwhelmed, another day wasted and money wasted. Why do all my attempts to get help backflip?
So i had a crisis some days ago and texted and old therapist that i loved. Told her it passed but now I'm wondering whether to go to group therapy. She said i deside but maybe it could be beneficial. At the last moment i went. Late. Saw people who just didn't feel right. Much older than me and with different

second opinion?
I was diagnosed with endometriosis over two years ago when I was being tested for a problem with my bladder. Doctor found a mass and sent me for scans internal and external. I also had a hysteroscopy (more than one eventually) where they had problems with my cervix. I have a massive chocolate cyst in

Private endo recommendation in Wales, please
Hi. I haven't posted for a while as I've moved from England to Wales. I used to see Dr SZ at Gatwick Spire, and am hoping someone could recommend an endo closer to Wales. I can't find anyone on the ThyroidUk list.On the Thyroid UK list, Dr GC ( who has Hashimoto's herself ), does video conferencing

Thyroid menopause supplement no hrt
Hi. I've been feeling quite good for a while now but I've had to stop taking HRT.I'm now feeling not fabulous again. I'm looking at all the natural alternatives. Anyone got any suggestions which won't interfere with thyroxine or aggravate the thyroid? Thank you

Do you try to keep your diagnosis private?
My wife has been a wonderful companion through my diagnosis and recent hospitalization from sepsis due to my 2nd biopsy. She almost lost me but I have returned to vigor and preparing for this journey through radiation and ADT next month. However, because I still work and am at a point where my business

HDR BT Salvage Therapy
Hello All I just completed the second BT procedure at MSK. Pain level was maybe 3 but mostly gone the next morning with some soreness. My next step I’m told is bloodwork in 3 months which I’m not concerned about. I am concerned about the 6 month MRI which could show if any cancer still remains. When

Hi everyone, I'm a long time ThyroidUK participant. Right now the thyroid replacement is good, vitamins, minerals, are all great. I'm very particular to ensure this. I use HRT (Triestrogen/progesterone) topical cream and have used since age 45 and I'm now 65. Here's the problem: in March

Questions about protocol changes regarding ADT from 2nd opinion.
I was diagnosed with PC about 2 months ago. I received a 2nd opinion from John's Hopkins today and all cores had a different (slightly lower) Gleason scores than my local testing gave. However I do have the evidence of adenocarcinoma in the prostate and am starting on this road through RT (with an OAR

Progression
My Oncologist says that after 4+ years of ADT, I am showing signs of castrative resistance. He also said that I am currently Low volume, low PSA Oligmatistic. Can someone translate. I had a PSMA scan a couple of weeks ago and the Radiation Oncologist said that I had a positive response. Thanks

Progesterone: oestrogen ratio
Hi all I recently got my oestrogen and progesterone levels done by medichecks.I was hoping they worked out the actual ratio of oestrogen to progesterone but they don't so now I'm confused. The 2 results are calculated in different values (pmol/L Vs nmol/L) which makes it hard to interpret if one of

Armpits? Yeah, armpits.
18 months ADT and my armpit hair has slowly, but finally, gone 😫.True, it's not a dramatic loss compared to the sacred memory of a hard erection! But a symptom is a symptom, and they all seem to have complications. After the hair had mostly become a memory, I started having a strange sensation in there

My son’s PSA rose a bit today.
My son’s last PSA three months ago was <.01 but today it was <.10.It was previously as high as 22. He’s also tertiary five. His Mayo doctor told him to continue to test every three months, stay on current meds Lupron, Abiraterone/prednisone for another year and two months then stop meds and wait

Surgical Castration ?
I have been on Eligard for two months. Prior to starting ADT my Triglycerides were 100 (May 2023). After only two months of Eligard they are thru the roof (495). Since I have metastatic PC they tell me that I will be on ADT for life. I am considering surgical orchiectomy since there are fewer metabolic

ADT or not?
Hi, i have Stage 4 PCA, Gleason 5+4 so I am on Degaralix and Enzalutamide. I tend to refer to this treatment as ADT as shorthand because to my mind they both reduce testosterone. I wonder if I’m misusing ADT or does it matter?

Unexpected Dive in PSA
Was diagnosed with Gleason 7 (4+3) in June. PSA was initially 19.76 in April, went up to 21.78 in May to confirm first high PSA, retested again in August at 19.39. Started taking Orgovyx on 9/11 and began IMRT (37 fractions, 70-78gy to prostate, SIB boost to 85-90gy) on 9/28. Had my PSA checked again

I just changed my username name from the impersonal "JHMX" to "JohnInTheMiddle". Among other things I liked the TV show Malcolm in the Middle. And when I signed up it was in that kind of crazy time of DX that many people here will recognize. But as I become familiar with the stories and exploration here
