When is day 1??
I’m meant to start
oestrogen
tablets on day 1 of my period and my clinic have said day 1 is first day of full flow, so if it starts in the middle of the day the next day would be day 1.

Hot Flushes
Hi, it's been a while since I posted, I have been following the advice given and support from members. I am still in what Drs call sub clinical Hashimotos Thyroiditis, still not being treated for it as my labs are all in range. My TSH goes between 3.39 to 6.03 currently it is 4.39. Same labs and ranges

Dutasteride and Tamoxifen (T->DHT blocker and SERM)
Are these contraindicated? I have prostate cancer and am doing cycles of casodex/dutasteride/zytiga, then estrogen patches/zytiga, then testosterone injections/dutasteride. Should Tamoxifen only be used during the estrogen patch/zytiga portion of the cycle? Thanks

Aromatase & CRPC cells
New study below [1]. ERα is the [u]alpha[/u] estrogen receptor [ER]. In healthy prostates it is found in stromal cells. ERbeta is found in healthy epithelial cells, but there is a switch to ERα as PCa develops. ERα promotes growth. Aromatase [CYP19A1] is the enzyme that converts testosterone [T] to

Fenbendazole Just Might be Working–Part 2
So, if it is working (see Part 1), my question is what would be the best course to follow when I am on ADT holiday waiting to see if PSA comes back (lupron due to wear off in November)? I take the view that if I am cured, some extra treatments are not a big deal, and, if I am not (more likely IMO),

BAT like therapy
I have G9, hormone sensitive prostate cancer. Had an RP in 12/2018. Estrogen therapy dropped my T down to zero. And my PSAs remained at zero. I did this for 5 months but stopped because of the side effects (felt great mentally but no libido and strength loss to the point that I wondered how long I could

BATlike therapy
My thought. Please critique this plan. I am not PrC (had RP in 12/2018 and PSAs have been zero since then). Gleason 9, one local lymph node, positive margin. This is my tentative plan (reduce risk of CrPc and increase libido for a little bit each year). 6 monthsBicalutamide, Dutasteride, Zytiga 2

Microvascular angina
No one has asked me anything about menopause etc but there seems a link between the drop in
oestrogen
and small vessel heart disease. Any advice? I’m also really struggling not being able to do the exercises I enjoy and keep me well mentally . I am using a GTN spray but my stamina is shot.

Tibolone HRT advice needed ! after a total hysterectomy due to Endometriosis
Hi , I had a total hysterectomy 7 weeks ago now due to Endometriosis. Previous to this I was on prostap and HRT patches for 18 months. Doctors just dont have time to spend talking there the various HRT treatments they just want you in and out was the same after my operation in hospital. No aftercare

How did you have access to estrogen patches if outside trial?
For those outside UK patch trial doing estrogen patches INSTEAD of ADT, how did you have access to the patches?

Sex hormones labs back - feedback please
I posted the other day about how to take estrogen and progesterone - continually vs cyclically - and now my latest labs are back (blood drawn on day 21 of cycle so luteal phase - I'm 50, my periods have been irregular for the past year). Ref ranges refer to "luteal phase" in the first brackets and "menopause

No treatment and doing fine
Coming off it made me so ill (aching joints and muscles) and theres no biopsy evidence that the mets are
oestrogen
positive. The benefits outweigh the risks.

Cycle cancelled
The hospital was concerned that my ovarian cysts had produced
oestrogen
which counteracted the burserelin injections but had blood tests and they said the cysts weren't active so dont know if this was the case.
