dilemma ADT duration
apologies first for another longish verbose posting ! I am in a dilemma after my last oncology appointment - I have T2cN0M0 G9 locally contained PCa following a failed HIFU that was previously twice biopsied as G7. After a clear PSMA showing locally contained with no SV involvement I had 20x3Gy to

Cognitive behavioural therapy
Hi, I've posted here before so just a quick update - RLS for 47 years, tried DAs, Gabapentin, Pregabalin and on Tramadol at the moment. I've been through augmentation. Tramadol is helping a bit but my sleep pattern is all over the place and I keep falling asleep in the afternoon. My daughter has had

Radiation for Salvage Treatment
I am about to start salvage treatment after a failed surgery and a rising PSA value of 0.1. However, I would like to know if weeks of external radiation with ADT, is the best treatment option here. The idea of blindly radiating pelvic area with a re-recurrence a few years later does not appeal to me.

Radiation
I had the standard IMRT for my pca back in 2013. I was told it was a lifetime dose. Is that true with the newer forms of radiation treatment? I am faced with starting a six dose regimen of taxotere now since ADT does not seem to be working according to PSMA scans. My psa remains at 1.8 even though the

CLL - Next Generation Sequencing
I'm curious about Next Generation Sequencing for CLL. To my understanding, this type of test identifies resistant mutations, i.e., NOTCH1, ZAP-70, SF3B1, etc., and this can help your doctor to determine a targeted therapy that's more personalized. Not sure I have this correct so hopefully someone here

Vagifem causing flare ups?
I've had a hysterectomy and excision and am currently in surgical menopause, about a year ago started with a return of pain/symptoms.

Update on my father
I just wanted to post a quick update on my father. He has metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. He’s been on ADT - Eligard shots every 3 months and prednisone + zytiga everyday. It’s challenging as I work with him and see all the ins and outs of his behaviour while on those meds. He remains

Met with Radiation Oncologist
Met with radiation oncologist today. His recommendation was Cyberknife, no ADT. He did say that if I felt more comfortable with surgery that there was an "amazing" surgeon within 100 miles that he would recommend. I liked the guy, he has been doing Cyberknife for years and felt that with a co-existing

Firmagon vs Lupron vs Orgovyxx
Is there any difference in cost/effectiveness? My urologist wanted me to start hormone therapy with Firmagon, but my radiation oncologist wanted me to go on Orgovyxx instead...any thoughts? Thank you!

Revisiting Intermittent Therapy in Metastatic Prostate Cancer
The A-Dream Phase 2 trial is taking a second look at intermittent therapy for mHSPCa. In the study they hope to answer the question 1. Can intermittent therapy (a break from treatment) for high responders (PSA < .2 over 18-24 mos) on ADT+ARPi be more effective than continuous ADT (the current standard

Thyroid and HRT?
Hi everyone - sorry for the long post!! I was diagnosed as underactive over 15 years ago (autoimmune) and, as consultant originally explained, I needed to increase levothyroxin dose over the years. For the past few years I've managed reasonably well on 175mcg in winter and 150mcg in summer. I started

Constipation caused by pelvic floor dysfunction
I have been diagnosed with obstructive defecation syndrome (pelvic floor dysfunction) from a proctogram - I’ve been given physiotherapy and it hasn’t worked. I’ve asked to be referred for biofeedback and my doctor says they won’t do anything else. Does anyone have any advice? It’s severely impacting
