interpreting my blood test results
Hello again I posted here about a month ago, and received really useful information about what blood tests for hypothyroidism should reveal. I have now had the results of the tests, which are quite lengthy, but do not seem to have any information on T3 and T4 levels. Please could some wise person comment

Looks like I have a BCR, 9 years after Proton Beam Therapy in Korea
In early 2013, I had 28 doses of PBT radiation at the Korean National Cancer Centre. I most impressive facility that gave me a great outcome. PSA was negligible until 3 years back. Last year my PSA was 0.34. A year later (July 22) it came in at 0.75. The question is where do I go from here. I should

Prednisone zone fog or GCA
For several months I have been reducing my prednisone by 1/2 of a mg. I am down to 4mg. 3 mg in the morning and one mg around 6pm. My head feel tight all over. I did have a very stiff neck and ear pain the last time I was at 4mg. They check my sed rate and C reactive protein… both were high. Went up

Frustrated
My doctor agreed to my request for a blood test, which I have just had. I needed it to judge the level of PMR inflammation as some of my aches and pains are starting to return. After having it done I have found it was just a routine blood test and no ESR or C-reactive protein test was included. I

Heart rate over 100. Should I lower or up my Levo??
Hi I was wondering if someone had any advice on whether or not I should lower or up my Levo dose? I had upped from 100mg to 112.5 mg beginning of June, but my heart-rate just keeps going over 100bpm when I’m not doing anything. I’m still tired and feel as if I just can’t be bothered. I’ve been sitting

Are MRI with coil and biopsy needed for BCR recurrence in prostate for cryotherapy, HIFU, Tulsa Pro or Brachytherapy?
After posting questions on ADT options for BCR oligometastasis, we have new development/input from RO and MO which makes us delay starting hormone therapy now. We would really appreciate members' input and advice so that we can make informed decision. Brief background, my husband was diagnosed in Dec

ADT options for BCR oligometastesis
Recent Auxmin and PSMA scans show that my husband has BCR oligometastesis (MRI shows nothing). It seems there are two different treatment options/opinions: 1. Lupron OR Eligard OR Firmagon OR Orgovyx for a few months and then radiation, then continue hormone therapy for 1-1.5 years 2. Lupron OR Eligard

what provoked my CLL?
Educating myself about CLL, I read that prolonged stimulation of the immune system in combination with genetic mutations and / or predisposition leads to CLL. I see myself as the ideal candidate for this disease. In a study about 10 years ago, it was found that one of the little proven risk factors

Recurring prostate cancer individual seeking Letetium 177 before it spreads more
My recent PSMA scan evidenced recurring prostate cancer now in seminal vesticule following proton therapy in 2015. Well respected USA hospital MD said surgery & radiation out due to previous proton radiation & closeness to bladder & rectum. Other than ADT only hope would be to get Letetium 177 treatment

Prevalence and Predictors of Sub-Clinical GCA in PMR
Mercifully, I have been free of PMR since last Christmas and taking tablets just every second morning is a blessing. I thought this study interesting: https://www.rheumatologyadvisor.com/home/topics/vasculitis/prevalence-predictors-subclinical-giant-cell-arteritis-gca-polymyalgia-rheumatica-pmr/ In

Proton Therapy verses SBRT side effect differences
Are the side-effect profiles between Proton Therapy and SBRT essentially the same? The Proton Therapy advocates say the side effect profile from Proton Therapy is significantly less than SBRT or other External Beam types of radiation, but are there any side by side comparisions to show this? Issues

Seeking a natural cure for prostate cancer.
I am a 70 y/o , diagnosed with Intermediate Grade Prostate Cancer in April 2021. Biopsy showed one Gleason 8 (4+4), one 7 (4+3) and the rest were mostly 6 s and 7s (3+4). After much reading I opted to go the natural healing route; I spent two weeks in Baja Mexico doing modified Gerson Therapy
