E2 gel

My use of E2 gel has put my PCa to sleep over four years ago. I don't even bother getting PSA tests anymore. I will try to send some back to 'Bidenvlle' when one of my friends goes back.

Hello my friend,

It is always good to see a post from you and know you’ve bobbed and weaved and hopefully out run those cancer cells that have been chasing you around for many years. You are outlasting them with the help of E2. Congrats!

It is possible to get estradiol (E2) in the U.S. in the higher doses reqired to suppress testosterone to starve the cancer. But since it is not FDA-approved, getting insurance companies to pay for it is difficult and finding an oncologist to go off-label (for me at the moment) has been impossible. Still, I know of several men getting it from their oncologists.

I have been lobbying the VA and oncologists for a year to get it, to no avail. But I managed to get a prescription from a sympathetic doctor who agreed as long as I am being followed by an oncologist. This doctor specializes in transgender care, so is expert in suppressing testosterone. It took a bit to convince, but my demeanor, sincerity and he ton of research I had done wone the day.

Instead of patches or gel, I am using injections. Most recent PSA is 0.016.

Thanks so much for responding, LS, I live in El Salvador but my family is in the US and I have a doctor who will prescribe it. But I have doubts about finding it in gel form. Can you orient me a bit? Confirm that it is in gel form? My family is in Las Vegas
