Hi Leila, sorry can help with the hot flushes, I am dodging HT for the moment. Take care of each other.

Thanks Chris

Great to hear your update Leila. And that things are going pretty good. Hopefully you can sort the hot flushes out - for both of you. It’s one of the side effects I’ve managed to dodge .. 

Ive had a couple of falls lately whilst out and ended up with cuts and bruises. It’s a bit embarrassing especially in front of a whole stand at Brands Hatch 🤦‍♀️ I probably need to get out and push myself a bit which will help with tired legs and breathlessness as well. 

As I just said to ChrisJ keep up the resistance and don’t let it grind you down. 👍

Take care 

Phil

It’s that time again, just got David’s PSA results a happy <0.1 and all his bloods seem to be good. Just waiting for the vitamin D results to come in. 

David was diagnosed nine years ago this month,he takes a boat load of supplements and some ‘ off label’ prescribed meds along with his three monthly Prostap injection, lots of fresh veggies, no red meat, no processed food, and very limited sugar. Now whether it’s the regime, the diet, or whatever he’s happy. 
I tell him it’s my love  and a bit of nagging thrown in to keep him on his toes. 

Keep strong you G9 lovely lads.

Leila.

Great new Leila, I’ve just had the results of my latest PSA test 6 months since a had my last ever(hopefully!) Prostap Jab. Testosterone and PSA both undetectable. I can’t believe how much better I have felt since this stuff was out my system. My energy levels are high, my joints get better by the day, flushes better. All this even though I have zero testosterone.

All this has made me think that if ever I was in the position where it was HT for life I would seriously consider having an orchidectomy.

Onwards and downwards(PSA!)

Has anyone done any research into ivermectin, I’ve done a bit of reading and it does seem to have some interesting results.

Sorts out parasites on my sheep, not sure it's good for anything else.

Leila , everything has to start somewhere, lots of research papers about it. 

Thanks Chris

Yes Chris, I agree, I’ve read a number of good peer research papers, and listened to a number of people who’ve used it with positive outcomes. It’s cheap, seems to have some efficacy and by all accounts a very safe drug. A number of cheap off label drugs are being tested and from what I’ve read have promising futures. Metformin, Ivermectin, and others. 
Let’s hope it’s taken seriously soon. 

Leila.

Metformin modifies the cellular response to sugar and insulin, the same effect can be obtained by not consuming carbohydrates..

Ivermectin is cheap as chips and already proven to be safe in humans, I have no idea why it is not being trialled more widely for cancer treatment. Maybe they are concerned about parasite resistance and loss of efficacy for parasitic diseases where it has saved millions of lives already?
