Editor’s Pick: Testosterone and estrogen return after stopping HT – and play tricks on two gents (rd)
Topics Discussed
Testosterone storms back – but so does estrogen!; Yale Smilow doc requests Dceipher test and MSKCC doc refuses; time for salvage protocol but Canadian protocols for RT and HT not exactly clear; bone biopsy may be best but least invasive method to determine if lesion is metastatic; hot flashes start with Intermittent Hormone Therapy – screwed up ‘sex’ hormones return; how many ways can we lower the HT dose?… or should we prior to at least 18 months duration.

Mechanism of action of abiraterone is different from Docetaxel. Abi is an androgen blocker. Doce interferes with cell division. (rd: not exactly – it’s more of an androgen destroyer than blocker)
Relugolix suppresses Testosterone (which signals prostate cancer dells to divide).

I have my spreasheet for conversion Pmols//L to ng/mL. But I don’t have the figures we are talking about.

Levels above 500ng/dl or 17.3358 nmol/L is considered optimal.

Does any practice use BOTH pelvic-wide radiation in combination with focused radiation on selected spots? Or is that just never done?
Patient take charge!

Bone Biopsies can be done asleep.
As I contend Hormones will do it to you every time. Jim
