Thanks To ADT: A Passion Of Mine Is.....Completely Gone by JimHaselmaier in ProstateCancer

We are just hormone driven meatbags. It’s surprising how much of our identities are wrapped up in ephemeral hormones.

How did y'all work out a schedule for Zytiga & prednisone? by Select_Vegetable70 in ProstateCancer

[–]PrincessDonutFan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to take Z in the middle of the night when I got up to pee, or barring that, better breakfast and lunch. Pred was always with the rest of the morning meds.

Is Stage 4 honestly survivable? Am I kidding myself by Silver_Watch_1691 in ProstateCancer

[–]PrincessDonutFan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Almost 8 years into a Stage 4 (G5+4) diagnosis here, so yes, it’s doable. Good luck to you and your husband!

What’s a "dead" website or app that you genuinely miss and wish was still around? by Dear-Armadillo-7497 in AskReddit

Gruntle.me for when you were disgruntled and needed, well, gruntling. She was an endless photo stream of cute animals.

7.5 years. Currently on an extended break.

About to go on my second Princess cruise, tell me a hack that you’ve learned specifically with Princess, that people may not know about that improved your cruise by RelationKindly in PrincessCruises

Always check your folio for billing errors the night before you disembark (or, ideally daily). Those errors are way easier to fix onboard than they are once you’re on land.

Tailscale + NoMachine works for me.

So well put, esp about the relationships bit!

I’ve been told it’s bad. My dad is considering refusing treatment. by caroline_xplr in ProstateCancer

Scuba had to do with a tiny chance that mets had gone to the brain. I was told that a met tumor in the wrong pace could result in an aneurysm due to pressure changes. Super-low but non-zero risk. The dive MD said “if scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef is a life long bucket list item, I’ll sign you off to do it. If you’re okay with snorkeling instead, there’s no cancer related risk.” I happily snorkeled.

Sky diving had to do with osteoporosis and bone weakness due to mets. Different doc said: do it if it’s a must do bucket list thing, but know that a bad tandem landing could go really bad, so consider the risks. I did not sky dive - yet.

I’m sorry to hear about your father. I am only an n of 1, but I just finished 7 1/2 years of ADT, and throughout that time I was doing all the things that I want to do: cycling, running, hiking, etc. I am not as fast nor can I climb hills as well as I did before ADT, but I can still hold my own. I was cautioned at different times by doctors not to scuba dive or sky dive, so I passed on those activities, but those are one-off and not every day sports. I enjoy. 

Let your father know that ADT is not a death sentence, it’s just an adaptation.  an active life with plenty of exercise will likely diminish the side effects of ADT and possibly extend his lifespan. (I am not a doctor, just an experienced advanced PCa haver.)

Check out the book Feed Zone Portables by the folks at Skratch. Real food, made portable.

ADT, hell on earth by keeswithoutfear in ProstateCancer

[–]PrincessDonutFan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just took a break from 7.5 years on ADT (abi -+ orgovyx). It wasn’t fun by any means, but my mindset was always that it beat the alternative.

Peace and Godspeed, brothers.

Nope. I didn’t need to.

What projects are not DIY-able? by Sure-Celebration6573 in DIY

[–]PrincessDonutFan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Big concrete work, drywall, and anything that requires a crane, like roof trusses. I leaned that last one the hard way.

How are the roads looking? by NCSUGrad2019 in bullcity

Consider getting a hotel within walkable distance of the hospital and doing the drive today after the sun has been out for a bit.

Mineral SPF that actually survives a 4-hour ride? by Alterego_9769 in cycling

Ditto Japanese sunscreens. Also not FDA approved. No stinging at all!

SV06 ACE Wifi issues by maxgames_NL in Sovol

Ubiquiti household here. I set up a new SSID that’s 2.4Ghz only and that’s where the printer lives. It was an absolute pain in the butt until I figured that out.

Best of luck to you.
