I agree with those who replied since my last response. I think we had different situations in that my swelling is not a big problem, just that my shoes are tighter than before, I am not aware of any...
Similar to you, Youkilis. Diagnosed 14 years ago, some months ago switched from lupron to Eligard, some sweelling in feet and ankles. Earlier stopped degarelix after several years due to fainting...
Tanya Dorff at City of Hope has an outstanding reputation and is becoming prominent in PCa research....
@teddy9. The hematuria began well after I had left firmagon and moved on to lupron. Many were short, longest so far was six weeks at which point I was admitted to hospital and amino caproic acid...
I have had severe gross hematuria for several years now, many years out from prostatectomy and radiation. I was on firmagon, then lupron, now eligard, but, after a quick review, I find no correlation...
Whenever I start to wonder about how to keep going on I think of your inspiring example. Thank you thank you....
Replying to Reachout ( a mere 4.5 years later, is that a record?). Sorry, I did not see it before. I still take modified citrus pectin, most recently Now brand. PectaSol-C has the clinical trial (run...
I find that in order to see the outcome of the voting I need to vote again each time I open the thread??...
Thanks. The confidence intervals seem wide given the number of participants....
So, I register for access to the full text only to be told after registering that it will cost me $50. Mainly I wanted to see how many were taking 5-ARIs. Might have been a small number, hence the...
And thank goodness he does keep beating it. I greatly appreciate his efforts....
I vote for BillyBob. This posting had new information, and I appreciate having it. It may be very useful since I am involved with some non-vaxers....
Profile attached...
See my profile, 2.77...
I have had the scan. As Prof Dr Barentz (sp?) explained to me during the infusion of the nono-iron, the company filing the FDA application did not even have a radiologist involved and made other...
Appreciate your diligence....
Had been taking 81 mg for years. Had salvage radiation, and later radiation to para-aortic and common-iliac nodes. Then, years later, started getting episodes of gross hematuria. Emergency room a...
No sign of Covid-19 in anyone whose supplements approach I know. I take most every supplement mentioned, but do not remember which were started because of Covid-19 and which because of PC....
I believe curcumin is known to suppress PSA directly, meaning the lower PSA may not reflect less PC....
The H and N keys are not far apart. Thanks for all the work that you share with us....
For answers to all your questions on sleep, read the astounding, great "Why We Sleep" by Mathew Walker, professor of neuroscience and psychology and the director of the Center for Human Sleep Science...
Agree with Gear....
Keep up the good work BillyBob. Appreciate it....
Keep up the good work BillyBob. I have addressed the mods as follows: I think you are being unfair in treating the two BBs the same. One produces deep analysis (not necessarily correct, but certainly...
Not "out there" if the financial and other incentives are strong....
Thank you Djin Tonic. I know this, it has been well-discussed on another site, including with the lab people behind Vaxchora. Based on that discussion I want Vaxchora, not Dukoral, and I know some...
Walgreen's gave me the above information, so I called and wrote to the company [APCER Life Sciences, Inc. on behalf of Emergent Biosolutions, Inc.]. Clearly the lawyers had written their response,...
A recent RCT showed that resuming ADT when PSA reaches 1.0 has better results than resuming at 4.0. Another trial showed that taking a holiday did not extend the time before castrate resistance....
Another great find. Thanks....
I argued this in another forum with a former poster here. Going from memory, his main point was that the 95% confidence interval for death from PC was 0.72 to 1.07 on a hazard ratio of 0.88. It...
Yes, I tried radiation. I was anxious to do it quickly, so I did not give ADT as much lead time as I probably should have. My RO, who previously worked with Zelefsky at MSK, was most interested in...
I doubt that my SRT and later lymph node radiation had anything to do with it (maybe ADT?), but I have lost three lower front teeth due to jaw bone erosion, no gum disease, dentists have no idea why....
For what it is worth as one sample, Radboud nano-iron MRI showed common iliac and para-aortic lymph node involvement, IMRT and 4 months of degarelix did nothing, see signature for details....
Why 400 characters? It's tough to condense many years and many different treatments that much....
Tall, thanks for the insight about the follow button which I have now implemented....
Yes, there is the other forum, but that web site is far more difficult to navigate. I always go to your page on this forum to see your last ten posts--I cannot do that on the other. I look at who has...
My understanding is that beans and rice together make a complete protein?...
Bohemond I had mild hot flashes starting a few weeks after the initial injection. Injection pain has always been there starting evening of shot, gradually wearing off almost entirely the next day,...
One example, for what it is worth. I chose Degarelix over Lupron based on comparative outcomes by various measures, and viewed the monthly shots as being more than offset by the opportunity to chat...
Ak123. No, radiating the mets did not work, as soon as the adjuvant ADT wore off the PSA went above its prior levels, renewed ADT has then returned it to 0.02 (versus <0.01 the first time). As for...
Most MCP I have bought is fine-grained and dissolves, with a bit of time. My last purchase turned out to be ethereal flakes, and takes a lot of time and effort to dissolve even 95%, hard to get to...
Dr. Tim Hollister, worked with Zelefsky before opening in Wilmette, Metro-Chicago Surgical Oncology, did my lymph nodes. Smart and helpful, free with time....
Nice job of investigating, Inspector Billybob Jobert....
One more vote for not locking this thread. Very useful to my thinking....
I respect this study, and even more the Tall One, but before I give up on D there is, I believe, evidence on the other side. For example (I copied this some time ago and may have left out parts, but...
Tall Allen: It is quite amazing to have the benefit of your encyclopedic knowledge of PC available for the asking, once again thank you. As for 'I wouldn't say that the combination of Lipitor and...
Given that the effectiveness against prostate cancer of the combination of Lipitor and Celebrex has been established, and given that some well-known doctors are recommending Crestor or Livalo in...
Let's give the Tall One super-elite status now. And, as I have previously suggested, there is a way to recognize this status. Instead of showing only the last ten posts (which means that us once/day...
One thing not mentioned in this thread, but is in the Atkins books: don't drink alcohol on his diet. I ignored that, did lose weight, but also lost all the hair on my legs and legs hurt badly on long...
Ak123, I looked through this thread and did not see any prior reference from you to green tea with ginger. I am interested since I have been drinking green tea with ginger since before meeting PC,...
