I have not been here for over a year and wanted to let everyone know that my last PSA was still. 0.1. I am still having night sweats and some weakness, but feel great and still walk my 2 miles a day....
Hello I have been on Eligard for 15 months and that will be the last of it, at least for awhile. I am also on Flomax. By Christmas time, my body should free of the Eligard. I am asking how long can I...
Hi Michael...thanks. My T's are not monitored at this time, but sure hope they come back soon so as I can get into my size 34 pants again..lol...

Peter..thanks for editing, I am not too literate with computers. I am so grateful for all who gave me feedback and this site is so awesome and well monitored. Tall Allen ..your contribution to this...

Hello again. Bringing you up to date on my treatment. Today I received another HT treatment (3 months) I have decided this would be my last one. So this will be a total of 15 months. I find the...
As indicated, I have completed my 39 treatments of HT and will be Sept before I get a psa test. Not sure if they do a T test. Thanks to all who donated their time to my question. I will look into the...
Hi all. Wanted to check in with the group as its been almost 2 months since I completed my HT. I would like to ask those who have or are using Eligard (HT) are having any effects such as mine. I felt...
I can agree with all posts. I am on my 2nd treatment of Eligard (same family),3 months, and have consistent night sweats. It is tolerable, but not bad during day. Lost my wife last may so the sex...
lol...I love my beer, but sauerkraut not a problem....maybe switch to whiskey..thnks...
Again thanks for all your input. Was almost at the point of saying we are getting off the PC issue, but that relates to flax. So, I will be starting my radiation this week and I am told to not eat...
Thanks for your input. I agree with most of what you say, however your statement on carbs needs closer attention. This is just a small quote from Dr Greger (my idol). " studies that measure the...
Again, I only believe what I can see as proof in the science.....we can go all week with statements...here is one...
Thanks Pratoman, there certainly a lot of confusion, but again you have to believe the science. I know too many vegetarians who have lost weight and kept it off, getting off their meds and living a...
Please watch your sources. Flax seeds are like wheat, or oats, they grow as any grains and they are very healthy for you. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=81 Never saw anything...
Sorry, dont agree about eating yourself to death. I tend to avoid meats and especially processed meats. Plant based diet and occasional steak ok, but you really should read or look at Dr Gregers...
|Hi ...The good doc says 1 tablespoon a day. I take it on my cereal in the morning and on my smoothies. Mix it in breads, muffins, cookies whatever. Never heard of cyanide in there, but I suppose if...
this is just one of the many subjects on foods and cancer. Flax seeds actually can reverse PC. Better yet, read his book...How not to Die http://nutritionfacts.org/video/flaxseed-vs-prostate-cancer/...
Hi...I have been on Eligard for 2 months now. I have slight fatigue, but at night I have to get up every 2 hours to urinate...and a lot of urine. I will begin radiation in one month and cannot...
Thanks..no I have not had a T reading yet. I am going to AZ for 45 days and will start my radiation simulation early Jan/16...
Your so right Fox....I know that the treatment Im getting is consistent with most on this site. I began my Eligard 10 days ago as well as Cosadex. May I ask you a question. As I have not had ANY side...
CBC story about inconsistencies in DX PC http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/prostate-cancer-1.3297782...
There are many threads here about milk and substitute for milk. Here is a renowned Doctor Greger onthis subject. Give it a listen if you wish. He backs it with science. Milk may affect the increase...
Not matter to me too much, but a lady Onc has small fingers,,,,easy on the butt for DRE....lol...
I have an earlier post, but this question came up after seeing my Onc. yesterday. She put me on a 18 months of HT of Eligard and pills, followed by EBRT. I was told the radiation would take place 3...
Correction.....Appointment with my Oncologist not Uro....
Hi all. Saw my Uro today. Scheduled to start Eligard for 18 months and 2 weeks of Casodex on Monday the 26th. External beam radiation for 39 treatments starts 3 months after initial HT. Her plan fits...
I have had a few people saying I need a medical oncologist. What is the difference between that and a regular oncologist. I live in Red Deer, Alberta where our new wing in radiology is only 1 year...
Sorry Tall Allen a typo on my 39HT..should read 39 "radiation treatments". Now that was my Uro saying that as I will find out Wednesday as to my treatment plan, if I decide to go with her....thank you...
Forgot to mention my location as requested by halbert. I live in a city in Alberta that has close access to a new radiology center. I am sure that my oncologist deals with PC as we only have 3 of...
Guys thank you so much for your warm caring. Cyclone you almost had me crying when I read your post. It clear that there is always someone worst of than you and I should be thankful that I may come...
Not sure if I'm doing this right, but here goes. I was Dx with advanced PC last month. When I went into the urologists office he greeted me with " Its bad, its really bad"..what a bummer. More...
I strongly believe that meats and dairy products are the cause of most medical issues in our times. I truely respect Dr Gregor who is a vegan and has hundreds of videos on health and nutrition. He is...
