The time is nigh. My prostate story is a bit unique. I've had some degree of BPH since my 40s, but it's remained tolerable until more recent years. Had a real initial PSA scare, but for 4 years it has bounced around, and at no point were any markers indicative of agressive prostate cancer. It...

I am on a current somewhat tenuous rebound from leukemia, in deep enough remission that things are improving for now. I had a terrible time for the better part of 3 years trying to maintain body weight due to the cancer itself, anemia, transfusional iron overload, and nutrient malabsorption due...

I am following up on my most recent protocol: Daily T cyp/prop results I am taking T cyp/prop blend at 4:3 ratio, 56mg daily, and HCG 400iu E4D. I wanted to see peak and trough, so got two blood draws. One was covered by insurance through labcorp, the other I bought on discounted labs since it...

I have had a very rough go with a blood cancer for the last 2 1/2 years. I've lost weight, and more importantly, muscle mass, as my body composition has shifted due to inactivity and in ability to exercise. I am down to 135 pounds, and my weight is still ever so slowly decreasing. There are...

I've been having Labcorp's free direct test all along and it seemed pretty on par with SHBG and Total T. Results were pretty consistent at and just a bit over "normal range, and in agreement with TruT calculator. However, I currently have a unique situation. I have leukemia, and from that...

I hope @Nelson Vergel sees this... Background: I am currently a Leukemia patient. My type of leukemia is Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) which is from monoclonal B-cell mutation, i.e. B cells (lymphocytes) mutate and then self clone. Their apoptotic process is shut off by the mutation, i.e...

I sent @Dr Justin Saya MD (my doc) a message, but not sure how soon he'll be able to respond. I am being put on a cancer med that interacts/has interaction warnings with CYP3A4 and CYP3A5. I have searched around the web and found precious few references for any contraindications or interactions...

Just figured I share this info: I won't recount the entire story, just say that I was harmed by statins years ago. The residual damage has been permanent. With my current cancer and anemia, I wanted to see what my genetic health polymorphisms are to perhaps tweak current diet, supplementation...

This is an uncommon circumstance, but I think it is worth posting. I've been on a miserable journey. It was a 1 1/2 to 2 year PSA roller coaster peaking at 9.5. Free PSA was never alarming, always low risk no higher than 10%. Select MDX was negative. Accompanied by prostatitis and hyperplasia...

Different strengths between brands: In the past I noticed a less potency when changing from Empower compounded to NP-Thyroid and raised dose accordingly . Now changed brand to Thai Thyroid-S Now waking and oral temp 97.2F, rises to 99.2F later in the day. I have never run that high...

Finasteride/post finasteride symdrome has been discussed on this forum quite a bit. LIke statins, looks like another case where the drug manufacturer knew from the beginning that they were marketing something hazardous. U.S. court let Merck hide secrets about popular drug's risks

I posted several replies to threads and sent a private message to a member yesterday afternoon. These posts and one of the threads, and the message (plus apparently most posts and threads for most of the day) have disappeared. That and the disappearing links in posts, What is going on with this...

I've been using Corion from ReliableRx with good results. Have also tried Fertigyn from them, but seemed inferior. ReliableRx is now out of stock on Corion, but I need to order. Who has experience with their other brand names, and how do they work for you? -Hucog -Sisafi -Ovidac -ZyHCG -Lupi...

micro ultrasound guided biopsy vs MRI guided and TRUS Comparison of conventional transrectal ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and micro-ultrasound for visualizing prostate cancer in an active surveillance population: A feasibility study Other abstracts further down this page: Box

This video focuses on the potential advantages of transperineal mapping biopsies in targeting focal treatments, but also includes comprehensive useful info about most biopsy options, including positives and negatives for TRUS, MRI, Fusion, etc.

There is a lot of good information on the forum overall regarding prostate, but there is no single place where this info lives. There are related threads on the general testosterone section, side effects section, Health and wellness section etc. I have had a bit of an adventure with PSA in the...

I am always on the fence about supplement use even though two doctors have prescribed me various supplements for various reasons. While I am not pro or against supplement use in any categorical way, I do believe strongly in caveat emptor. The supplement industry is rife with snake oil. This...

Thinking ahead about my next syringe order: I'm currently using 1cc-ml syringes and it takes about 1 minute to draw my dose of T cyp in grapeseed oil. My dose is small, and for dose accuracy I could get away with lower power reading glasses if I could use 0.5 or even 0.3cc-ml syringes. These...

1: Dr Saya shared the results of his HCG level test study here: https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?6133&p=32234#post32234 It seems that the most prevalent interpretation of this information is that a larger dose is more effective due to 1: the increased level in the blood, 2: the...

Genetics play a part. Apparently APOE4 genes mean trouble from eating high fat The most pertinent bit at about 8:25 Note: Brewer reviewing debunking Mercola's book.

I wish there was a sticky! I am trying to search on this topic and finding a few things, but no comprehensive discussion of trade offs between Daily vs less frequent dosing protocols, and some conflicting info. I am potentially interested based on my own needs. A brief summary of the basics...

I'd like to try to get a little quantitative data. If you have found anything close to a sweet spot in terms of T cyp dosing frequency, what is your; -dosing frequency and amount? -your SHBG? -your HCT? (and do you donate blood to keep it in range?) -E2 And please elaborate on any aspect of...

With my high PSA, I have scheduled an appt for starters with a new primary care doc. He's a D.O., his reviews are stellar he's a little younger, and I am hoping he's open minded and progressive, since I'd rather have an advocate first rather than a needle happy uro. So far, based on PSA and free...

Title says it all. Any coupon codes currently?

My labs are in, refer to my Blackhawks journey thread. Total T is over 1500 at trough. Just wondering what to expect reducing dosage. Will I have anti honeymoon side effects? Consultation is in a week w Dr Saya. I'm considering lowering next 2 doses from 64mg to 50 just to get the process...

Just seeking to understand the why of my new dosage. I think I may have forgotten some of the explanation from Dr Saya during the phone consultation, and I don't want to pester him with questions outside the formal consultations. So throwing this out there for discussion; I have been on T gel...
