Very painful period after stopping estradiol, what to do?
Hi, so we are having donor egg treatment abroad and have recently had a hysteroscopy and biopsies taken to check things out. The consultant said he'd seen an area that corresponds with adenomyosis which will explain my very heavy long periods I've been having. After the procedure I have taken 5 days

Progress made starting HRT
Hi Today a nurse has put me on HRT, Estradiol 0.06% gel and Utrogestan 100mg capsules. To be honest, I’m shocked, as the previous nurse I had a telephone conversation with was obsessed with getting my bloods done, and as the keys words were not mentioned by me as ‘no periods’, and ‘hot sweats’, I could

Testosterone “Flare” (Or Testosterone?) Timing to Optimize Salvage Radiation Therapy
I have referred to the following article a few times in response to some posts about the use and timing of ADT when used in addition (adjuvant) to improve outcomes from salvage radiation therapy for BCR for failure after primary prostate treatment (surgical or radiation or other). Also for recurrences

Treatment after RP with affected lymph nodes
Hello! This is my first post to this forum, which I am following from some time ago, since I have some doubts about next steps of treatment of my advanced PC and would appreciate very much your help, in order to take best grounded decisions. My basic history on this matter is: • 2016: 58 years. PSA

Frustrated with NHS
To keep a long story short, I have been suffering with the following symptoms for nearly 5 years now: - Extreme fatigue (could curl up on the floor and fall asleep anytime of the day) - Anxiety/Depression - Poor Memory I'm a 32 year old man but sometimes I feel like I'm in the body of a 90 year old.

Extracts from two papers on exercise and cancer. Paper 1 investigates the blood from 25 patients with mCRPC exercising. Paper 2 is a review.
The first paper indicates that a phase 3 trial INTERVAL-GAP4 is recruiting. I have not checked this. The patients used in this study were recruited to the INTERVAL-GAP4 trial (2016- 2020). I include the Abstract and the section about the exercise program used. I include the extract from the second paper

Acute, major depression after 3-month Lupron injection, from a new poster
I haven't posted my prostate cancer bio here yet but I intend to in the future. I had a prostatectomy along with my seminal vesicles and the left side lymph nodes proximal to the prostate. Gleason 4+3 N0. The cancer had escaped the prostate which could only partial be removed since it was microscopic

Effects of estradiol on bone in men undergoing ADT
Seems a long time coming. ("6-month randomised, placebo-controlled trial") "In men, many effects of
testosterone
(T) on the skeleton are thought to be mediated by
estradiol
(E2), but trial evidence is largely lacking."

Sudden PSA increase
Hoping for some insights around what might be going on here. Thanks in advance for taking a moment with your thoughts. I started ADT vacation after a 1-month lupron in February after 7 months of on-cycle. Since then my PSA has done this: Feb 2022 = 0.17 March 2022 = 0.06 April 2022 = 0.04 May 2022 =

6yrs on ADT (Firmagon )
I have been on firmagon for the past six years. My PSA stays around 1.1. My testosterone stays at about five. These numbers have been steady for the past six years and I asked my doctor many times if I should take a break. When they found my cancer it was in my pelvis bone with three mets .I also took

Prostap (Lupron) Effects
Diagnosed 11 years ago, I am T3b non-metastatic and have had one month of Bicalutamide and six months of Prostap (Lupron). Indeed my PSA has dropped dramatically and my testosterone is currently not in production mode. This is common treatment prior to IMRT. The effects have been quite severe. Apart

Hypogonadism & upgrading of low-risk PCa.
New meta-analysis below [1]. By now, the association of low testoterone with more serious PCa has been established IMO. (But I continue to post on such to counter the old "fuel on the fire" belief.) Upgrading means that the pathologist, after radical prostatectomy [RP], found more serious cancer than

Treatment Decision
MO has agreed to let me restart Lupron because of CT result showing size increase of couple of existing metastasis in lymph nodes and a new suspicious lymph node. But he wants me to take Bicalutamide for two weeks before that. Do I understand correctly that Bicalutamide prevents prostate cancer cells
