Looking for Estrogen users...

[janebob99]

Hello,

I'm doing a survey of estrogen users. I'd like to find out:

1. How many patches or gel pumps do you use a day, or a week? And what dose of E2 patches do you use?

2. What's your PSA?

3. What's your estradiol?

4. What's your testosterone?

5. What's your DHT (if you measure it)?

6. How long have you been using estrogen?

And, anything else you'd like to share.

I will analyze all of the data and present a report.

Thanks very much!

Bob

Here in UK estrogen gel or patches arent an option for men with prostate cancer

That's too bad.

I have two thoughts. You could order some from a Canadian or US pharmacy (estrogel.com). Estrogel.com has a MD on their staff who will write a prescription over the phone. It's worth a try. That's where Prof. Wassersug (in Canada) has been getting his estrogen gel for over 20 year (he prefers the gel over the patches). His HealthUnlocked name is "Wassersug".

Or, find a compounding pharmacy in the UK. Ask the pharmacist for names(s) of doctors that prescribe compounded hormones (estrogen, testosterone) and contact them. Likely they will have an alternative perspective on health care and will prescribe E2 gel or patches.

Just a thought....

The phase-III PATCH trial in the UK will be published this Fall, if you can wait that long. I predict there will be a major change in doctor's practices after this report is published.
