Joint pain - ADT

Thanks Marie and Jim,

My plan is to check out the NCT01875250 trial first thing in the morning to see if I'm eligible.

Frankly, I don't understand the basis for the oncologist's survival estimate, which I didn't ask for because I think it's tough to make this prediction. However, the "few years" I referred to earlier is actually a median of 5 years according to the oncologist who made the prediction, although his prediction also was that I was on the short side of a bell curve centered on this value. Perhaps it's the multiple high risk factors in place despite the lack of evidence for bone metastases at dx - high PSA (32), high Gleason score (9), extensive extracapsular extension, perineural invasion etc. plus a history of extensive treatment complications.

Who knows. At the moment I'm focused on getting rid of the musculoskeletal issues so that I can climb a few more mountains before this becomes too difficult, however long it takes for this to happen.

Like a lot of the other side effects hard to say whether the joint pain is due to the meds, or just age. Ditto for ED.

regarding Omega 3, krill oil, etc, as I recall it was not the Omega 3 per se, but the ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6.

Here's some of Dr Myers' videos on the topic and more if you were to page further back in time. At the end of one of the videos he jokes that he is having salmon for dinner.

I take the Krill Oil instead of the generic Fish oil. I stopped taking multi-vitamins due to the Vitamin E and selenium but do take other specific supplements instead.
