My husband has T1c Staged prostate cancer with 3 out of 13 positive cores; Gleason 6. 6, 7(3+4). His father and brother died of PC ages 89 and 73 respectively. Three doctors: his urologist and two surgeons are recommending removal of the prostate. We had an appointment with an oncologist radiologist, but my husband cancelled because he said he wasn’t getting radiation after talking with the other doctors. After watching his dad and brother suffer, he wants the cancer out of his body. I’m thinking he still needs to visit with the radiologist. I know the decision is his to make and I don’t disagree with his choice; I just think once he’s had that surgery and going through the difficult recovery he will have better peace of mind knowing he weighted all of his options. Please advise. Btw: He’s 69yo

I had a total hysterectomy in February 2023. Due to my blood clot history, I went two years without any HRT. I finally found someone to prescribe some estradiol patches and then gel in April of 2025; but I’m not absorbing it. My estradiol level is still at 24. It’s been the same for over a year. I’ve gained weight, lost hair, and aged 10 years in 3 years! We’ve increased dosages and changes delivery methods; nothing is working. I’m scheduled to start injections next week I need some positive stories about injections. Please share!
