Good information for those who were on hormone therapy. Appears Avodart isn't very effective following hormone therapy. I have never been on any kind of therapy other than RP done 3/2011. Therefore...
Interesting blog. I'm a personal trainer and workout myself too. I believe its all about your DHT level (androgen) and not the T level. I'm on Dr. Myers Avodart/Metformin combo where my T level went...
I have been very fortunate on this cocktail of Avodart/metformin/Crestor. In one month DHT went from 55 to 2.4, PSA from rising .053 to .024, and testosterone from 491 to 658. My entire outlook about...
Had my appointment with Dr. Myers on 3/11/15. PSA had another slight increase from .044 to .053 since Nov. 2014 test. The good doctor said my doubling time is 10 months. Dr. Myers pointed out...
I'll give the Avodart/Metformin a try. Worse case PSA will continue to rise and SRT may be considered at that time. Since Avodart is a Hormone suppressant it will help any radiation treatment that...
I don't want SRT. Too many side effects with a 35% chance of long term remission. Avodart and Metformin have been around a long time with minimal side effects. We must remember there is no cure for...
My first appointment with Dr. "Snuffy" Myers will be mid March. Completed 15 page questionnaire and ready to attack the beast before rising PSA hits .2. I'm guessing he will use Avodart/Metformin...
If your PSA doubles in a short period of time you are getting closer to a recurrence (.2) which is a bad thing indeed. We want the doubling time increased so it takes longer for the PSA to reach .2....
Thanks for the prospective Rigby. My knowledge of excel is low to moderate. I'm not familiar with the formula indicated. It would be nice if you could email me a copy of your xls document. I'd like...
Thanks for the encouraging reply Rigby....
I hope I'm wrong and you are right Logo. Suppose I am reacting to my Uro's suggestion of SRT while still under .1. Like all the brotherhood this PCa thing has been a life changer. I'm not annoyed in...
Logo, My surgery was a failure. 3.5 years after RP my PSA has continued to rise. My Uro stated I will need additional treatment. The surgery left me with damaged nerves (no erection) and now facing...
I'm glad to see both ksk and rider's PSA taking a dive. I really like your PSA velocity chart, rider. Do either of you have any side effects from the drug combination? My goal is find treatment to...
Hi ksk, It's been almost one year since your Avodart/Metformin therapy. How about an update? I hope all is well....
My PSA has been rising ever since the RP in March of 2011. It's still relatively low at .044 but the rising trend is not good. My question, since i am a G6 organ confined cancer guy should I be...
