Dexa results
I have just received my dexa results after a year on Prednisolone and Risedronate. Lumber spine is normal, but left hip and left neck of femur ( they only scanned the left) show Osteopenia. I understand what T scores and Z scores are, but I got three figures for each site, and I wondered if anyone knows

Zoledronic acid plus teriparatide
My wife is about to go onto treatment for fairly severe osteoporosis after a fall involving
fractures
to 3 lumbar vertebrae. According to a letter from her consultant to her GP, the consultant seemingly wants her to go onto zoledronic acid plus teriparatide.

PSA +
Is a PSA increase from .13 to .20 a concern? I'm on Eligard and Zytiga & Prednisone + Xgeva.

What do you think?
I’ve been on Lupron and Xgeva since 2014 and have had many other treatments along the way. As my PSA rose I found my best treatment was Xtandi. I had pretty good results from 2017 to 2020 , then my PSA moved upward again. Looks like I’m going to fail with Nubeqa, which I have been on for 2 1/2 months

osteoporosis advice please.
My consultant is sending me for an MRI of my spine for
fractures
or disc issues. Also my posture has changed and I'm very stooped. I'm worried it could be the osteoporosis and I could be left like this. Any info or advice gratefully received

e2 patch
And, should I seek a second opinion....Xgeva hasn't prevented
fractures
, and my density is-2.3 in femoral neck and -1.5 in lumbar spine and hip. Is it possible for the e2 patch to help strengthen and correct the bone loss I've already suffered from 4 years of ADT.

latest DEXA scan
Just had my 7 year anniversary of my PMR diagnosis. The last couple years have gone well with a couple minor flares but I've been at 1 mg and in a holding pattern for a few months until seen by Rheumy #5 in another week, another one I've never talked to before. I did have a DEXA scan in the first

Zytiga after failing nubeqa ?
Has anyone had any luck with Zytiga after nubeqa fails to hold down PSA? I have been mCRPC for a few years now and Im curious if there is any chance Zytiga would work after the combination of Orgovyx/Nubeqa failed. I had some good results years ago when I was still nmCRPC with Firmagon/Xtandi, but had

Back brace to help with compression fracture.
I have a painful compression fracture on my T10 vertebrae after SBRT radiation on my prostate cancer tumour there. My oncologist has recently doubled my fentanyl patch dosage to 25 um/h, but the pain still remains, especially when I get up in the morning. I spoke to her today about getting a back brace

Orchiectomy
I have metastatic cp to the bone. I have been on Lupron Xtandi and Hi dose Vitamin C for the last 19 months my current PSA is <0.1 and has been for the last 6 months. I am 83 years old and am in reasonable good health, other than pc. I have read that having an orchiectomy would yield longer life. Also

TRT Causing Breast Enlargement
Has anyone on this site experienced breast enlargement while on TRT? Just curious as to how common this is. Am considering it because two years after ADT. (18 months Lupron and Bicalutamide) my T level is 66, PSA .28.

Broken arm while tapering Pred
On Friday last week I fell badly and broke my left arm - the humerus sheared off the ball joint and there are a couple of other
fractures
as well. I had surgery to fix the
fractures
. I told every doctor I saw about being on Pred, knowing that I could have an adrenal deficit.

1, 3 or 6 month ADT?
Originally, after a prostatectomy and 40 radiation treatments, I had a one month shot of Lupron followed by a six month shot of Lupron. My PSA went to undetectable. Seven years later my PSA crept up to seven and I was put on a monthly shot of Firmagon for life. My PSA is again undetectable and all scans

Limited Scleroderma, Autoimmune issues, thymoma, metal implants in joints
Both
fractures
were clean breaks but unfortunately both failed after two weeks necessitating steel wires and pins in my kneecap, and a titanium plate on my radius. Both
fractures
healed well over the next couple of months, and I was wearing a brace 24hrs a day for 10wks to help with stability.

Acetylcysteine
I have recently been prescribed oral acetylcysteine as a mucolytic. Does anyone have any experience with this? I am unsure how having a greater volume of mucus to cough up will help me, and the drug information leaflet says it should not be used with bronchial asthma as it can cause bronchospasms

Feeling a bit like a train wreck !!
Hi everyone, so just a quick one. Wonder if anyone else feels a bit like me ?? I'm really struggling to get motivated at the moment. It's not helping when it's dark, cold and wet in the evenings. I love running, but time with everything (work, homelife, general everything life) is just flying by
