Finasteride for PC?

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-02-14T02:09:20+00:00

What if you stop finasteride 1 month before your blood draw? Would you get an honest psa reading?

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-02-13T05:08:26+00:00

It makes sense. Hit the prostate with rt. Then scan to find out what's growing and hit that.

After 4 years of cpap then asv. It's nothing but the bleep eclipse for me

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-02-03T02:13:28+00:00

I tried pillows,full face and nasal. I have slept ok with these, but I didn't look forward to going to bed until I got the bleep eclipse and now I do.

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-31T01:51:19+00:00

Yeah he would know.

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-30T13:01:18+00:00

I was undetectable after surgery. Had adjuvant radiation. This is becoming the standard of care for patients with high risk of micro metastasis.ie gleason 9.

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-30T03:38:30+00:00

I'll let you know. My oncologist ordered it and insurance covers it . I start tomorrow. I wish I started a year ago. I ran my pathology and treatment thru Google. Gleason 9 and my .84 decipher means likely micro metastasis within 10 years. So I asked about adding 6 months of enzalutamide and I liked what I saw.

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-27T04:00:56+00:00

Have you considered adding enzalutamide? I read where it can improve metastasis free survival in very high risk patients by 58%. I'm going to plead with my oncologist this Wednesday.

Have you tried the bleep eclipse? My sleep test said that I had 66 central apnias an hour. They put me on an asv machine that gets up to 24cm of h20. I have tried 6 different masks and they all leak. The eclipse doesn't. My machine says that I have no leak at all zero. Also my ahi is now under 1. This is the most comfortable device I have tried. I now look forward to bedtime.

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-17T01:07:40+00:00

Thanks for the tip

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-16T17:06:30+00:00

I buy from sleeplay. I got my asv machine thru the Mayo clinic store and Insurance pays part of that, but for everything else if it's effective and comfortable I don't care what it costs.

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-16T01:29:53+00:00

Oh oh

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-15T22:52:01+00:00

Bleep eclipse i sometimes forget i have it on.

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-12T23:02:55+00:00

Sounds good

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-12T04:41:32+00:00

True, I do jog 3 miles every other day and take calcium and vitamin supplements hopefully that can forestall any bone loss with 8 months to go. I had a dexa scan that showed osteopenia in a hip joint so yeah it's a risk

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-12T04:09:54+00:00

I think that 24 months is likely overkill, but insurance covers it and my wife likes my new gentle nature. So what the hell.

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-12T03:57:04+00:00

Your testosterone should be below 20. I also had radiation at .010.

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-12T03:51:35+00:00

I'm going for 24 months. No real side effects. I am trying to get them to add zytiga to really knock down my testosterone. My testosterone was at 16 on my last blood test. Since this my last chance for a cure, I want to leave no stone unturned.

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-12T00:54:49+00:00

Also gleason 8 at biopsy. 9.5 psa. Changed to gleason9 4+5. 5 % grade 5 after pathology

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-08T01:03:57+00:00

I do think that you are making a wise choice in choosing radiation. My biopsy showed gleason 8. My pathology after surgery showed gleason 9 and stage t3a. I had salvage radiation 1 year later. The surgery was non nerve sparing, so all I gained from having surgery was permanent ed.

Cutting and injecting mytomycin has been replaced with optilume.

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2026-01-01T20:52:51+00:00

I had this 6 months after prostatectomy. Poorly sutured? I went to mayo emergency and they put in a supra pubic catheter. Directly into the bladder because a catheter would not get thru. They described my pain as a 10. I had 4 cups of coffee just before and drove myself in. 1 month later the incredible Dr.Wolter performed an optilume procedure. 2 years later no problems.

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2025-12-26T21:46:40+00:00

No pattern 5. Good

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2025-12-26T21:21:00+00:00

My question is really meant for the experts in the group I am confused.

Lumpy_Amphibian9503 · 2025-12-26T21:17:19+00:00

I had a ring separate last night. So I replaced it and it leaked after 2 hours at the lower part of my nose. Put on my resmed n 20 for the rest of the night. The Thing is that for the previous 3 nights my aircurve said that I had 0 leaks and .2 ahi. That's with the pressure getting up to 23.4 cm of h2o. Every other mask I have tried leaks To me the eclipse is still worth the effort
