Hi. Looking for insights from others familiar with neuropathy following radiation therapy for bone mets. I had proton radiation on rib 7 adjacent to my spine the first week of September. The initial...
I had Proton therapy for a solitary lesion on Rib #7. I started experiencing mild back pain after the 1st fraction. This pain increased until it became quite intense by the final (5th) fraction. I am...
I have been aggressively exercising before and during this round of ADT (Lupron + Casodex). I don't think I can overstate the huge impact that exercise has on quality of ADT life! However, I have...
I saw this article this morning about using specific exercises to reduce manboobs.. I don't know how effective it is and I wonder if anyone has gotten results from similar exercises?...
I had normal Abs Lymphs until 4 months after starting Lupron and Casodex and a month after starting RT. That was 3 1/2 years ago and my Abs Lymphs have been consistently low. I have not been sick or...
Ursolic Acid, Resvaratrol and Curcumin https://www.nature.com/articles/s41698-017-0024-z I thought there might be a thread on combining these supplements to starve PCa. I couldn't find a thread here...
I am interested in other observations too! I've been taking pantroprozole for many years and I pee more than anyone I ever knew. With PC and radiation my nocturia was as much as 22 times/night. In...
Has anyone noticed anything similar... I started monitoring my resting pulse in January 2016. I had been on casodex and Lupron for a year and my resting pulse was in a nose dive. It went from 75 in...
My last Lupron (84 day shot) was April 18 (19 months total), the last daily casodex was July 18. My T is still <9. Anyone with similarly slow T?...
Anyone have experience with The Man Plan? It's an exercise plan for men with prostate cancer, I think (?) especially for men on HT....
I stopped casodex Monday (yea!). Got a blood test for estrogen levels. If it is low, I'll likely stick with the femara until my T is restored. I seem to be handling it a little better. I found a good...
Anyone aware of a documented hypersensitivity to BPA (tomato, beer can linings, etc.) or soy phytoestrogens during HT that accentuates gynecomastia? I started eating a vegan diet after 15 months on...
Spam beats mets. My opinion. If you find an interesting alternative treatment, please post! Best of luck to you!...
Peanut304, I punted on the B12 and got a blood test this afternoon. I'll let those results inform whether I supplement B12 or not. Other than that I take a lot of supplements. The one that stands out...
I started vegan diet in April. My dietician recommends B12 supplements. Any compelling insights on possible links between B12 and PC?...
Margaid, I was diagnosed via a bone chilling biopsy report. Immediately, I saw many good surgeons, urologists, oncologists and a radiation therapist. Everyone pitched their own specialty. All of the...
Update: I am doing OK. In the great hands of POS in Del Rey. Never would have found those guys without this site and the great responses here! January, 2015 C-11 showed several mildly positive...
Hey Allen, Good to hear from you. Thanks for the insight! I will discuss with my oncologist. Thanks again, Mike...
Shortly after adding Femara to my Lupron/Casodex regimen, my malaise increased fairly significantly. Coincidence or cause? Anyone have experience or other relevant knowledge?...
Peter, I was added to the Gleason 9 Crew in January, 2015 by Redwing57. I went dark for a little while but want to join in here. I don't see my name on the Roster. I guess I qualify for either the...
For some reason, I just assumed getting the cancer cut-out was a no-brainer. It's hard trying to get a medical degree in a couple days. ;) Thanks to everyone of you for your support and guidance. I...
jazzed - I would like to meet. [email protected]...
The bone scan result doesn't show any bone issues: "IMPRESSION: No scintigraphic evidence of osseous metastatic disease." I have been very busy looking at Urology Oncologists and have had success...
Jerry, Huge. Thanks! Mike...
Almost a 10 & Doug, Wow, it's great to get such quick and helpful responses! No sugar coating wanted, appreciated or necessary. Thanks guys, been a tough couple of days but you guys are all making it...
Mel - Thanks, lots of good leads there. Much appreciated! To you and others on this board, is removal of the prostate generally recommended with my Gleason and PSA?...
