Can grumpiness, mood swings, etc, be directly attributable to levels of testosterone due to Prostrate Cancer?
Having recently being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, I have found bad mood swings, prickly as a porcupine, not nice to be near symptoms more frequent.

Smoother skin From Lupron? Chemo?
Could this be the lack of
testosterone
? From the chemo? It's certainly not an issue, but curious. Thanks.

breast pain
I have been off of ADT (Lupron/Zytiga) for about a year and a half - my PSA remains at about 0.2 since my
testosterone
came back about a year ago (currently at 250 ng/dl). a couple of months ago, both breasts started to hurt. They did swell under ADT but have remained constant since I went off.

Follow up with VA Testosterone Trial
July 21st I completed my blood work and received my next
testosterone
shot. My ALP was 63 but my PSA numbers are climbing with a 14.4 result. I left out of my last post that I have three cancer areas on my spine where the neck area is the worst.

Anyone prescribe Metformin for prostate cancer not for diabetes?
In benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) xenograft models, metformin inhibits
testosterone
and attenuates prostate weight and pathological alterations31.

How infrequently can you be administered Lupron?
It seems if I keep with the normal monthly regiment, my PSA drops below .2 and my
Testosterone
goes to <3. If I don't take Lupron for 2 months by PSA is at .4 but my
testosterone
is now 165. I am 60 years old.

Milestone Day
Prayers up that the
testosterone
returns, and the PSA does not! I am ready to not be bearing the fatigue / hot flashes / emotions that are the hallmark of ADT.

PSA Rising after 5 years
My
testosterone
is still 0.1 nmol/L. This means I am still castrate sensitive. I guess my question is what should I add to my treatment plan to get the PSA under control. Recent scans show original metastatic disease stable with no new sites.

Undetectable PSA is back
Yesterdays blood test shows PSA < 0.05 and
Testosterone
0.03. I restarted Lupron end of January, so it’s now six months. Would you recommend a total of 12, 18 or 24 months before the next holiday or continue „forever“?

Venesection and NAFLD and serum ferritin
High ferritin increases haemoglobin, it also damages the liver but also is caused by a damaged liver, it reduces
testosterone
(which may explain why I started having
testosterone
in the first place!)

Testosterone gel pre-ivf
I’m just wondering if anyone has any experience of using
testosterone
gel prior to an ivf cycle? I’ll be starting my 3rd cycle soon, and I’m doing four weeks of
testosterone
first to help wake my ovaries up a bit first. I’ll also be using Meriofert as opposed to Ovaleap like my last two cycles.

Who is bothered most by ADT side effects and why?
Others report being overwhelmed by the side effects and look forward to a time when they might have their
testosterone
back in the normal range for males. But what accounts for this diversity in distress from ADT? A dozen researchers, mostly based in the USA, teamed up to find out.

Latest results - improved numbers - symptoms meh
The results also include
Testosterone
results which seem to suggest I'm doing fine (it was low in previous tests). I shall pass these results to a TRT clinic, but I think they are OK.

Hormone sensitive after stopping Lupron?
If I stop ADT after 30 mo and my
Testosterone
stays at castrate level for 6mo, is this effectively the same as if I had 36 months of ADT?

I am particularly worried that when my
testosterone
is lowered from the current level of 700 to almost nothing (if I choose the radiation option) this will seriously reduce my quality of life. I am a very active, energetic and driven person, and don't want to lose that.
