I am 48 years old and my private doctor has recently put me on HRT - estrogen, progesterone and a small dose of female
testosterone
(however 6 months in and I feel no different!) Are these blood levels considered on the low side? Thanks for reading x

Testosterone lowering but PSA rising
Testosterone
Dec 2020 was 22.2 but Dec 2021 it has dropped to 13.6. Why is my
testosterone
going down while my PSA is rising? I understand the rising PSA but why the dropping
Testosterone
? Are PC cells ‘consuming’
testosterone
and thus lowering it?

The Metabolic Syndrome [MetS] & PCa
What has loss of
testosterone
to do with MetS? "Metabolic syndrome and
testosterone
deficiency in men are closely Linked. Epidemiological studies have shown that Low
testosterone
Levels are associated with obesity, insulin resistance and an adverse Lipid profile in men.

Dr said write goodbye letters to my children
Heart and Lung doctor recently did not know about
testosterone
for lung issues then he looked into it and said you are right they are now starting to make asthma medications from
testosterone
. I have been on
testosterone
for my lungs for 23 years it’s been my miracle.

Test tomorrow - what about HRT?
I have progesterone, estrogen and
testosterone
cream as I had a hysterectomy a couple of years ago. Bit reluctant to stop it as it messes me up when I miss some but will do if it will affect my results in any way. Thank you.

Two Months on Lupron
I started Lupron two months ago and had my first PSA and
Testosterone
blood level yesterday. I will see my RO next week to discuss the results and whether I can start IGRT. PSA was 6.4 two months ago and was 0.98 yesterday. T was 465 two months ago and was 10 yesterday.

STAMPEDE will result in more data on estrogen patches and also data on metformin.
It is encouraging that the SOC opinions about estrogen patches for ADT, and the use of
testosterone
are changing. I was diagnosed just over 3 years ago so I wasn't following PCa trials and therapies before 2018. However, it seems that some progress is being made.

Rapid Weight Gain
I asked my MO at my last visit, why my thighs were ballooning, he blamed lack of
Testosterone
. Is it that simple? My exercise has been limited during the winter months, but that happens every winter and with little to no noticeable effect.

HRT and Ovarian Cancer
The impression I got from her was I would have estrogen gel and possibily
testosterone
if needed at a later date. However the letter she wrote to my GP is pondering if I should also have progesterone as well so I don't become estrogen dominant.

Is my cancer still hormone sensitive?
Since my
testosterone
is still very low (just above castrate level), PSA increasing with PSADT < 2 months might indicate that my cancer is pointing towards becoming castrate resistant. I personally feel that some of my cancer is already castrate resistant. Am I wrong to think that way?

Considering Orchiectomy
Began Firmagon and Erleada. 3 months later PSA .14,
Testosterone
4.7. Considering orchiectomy. From what little I have read it seems to offer a little more in terms of length and quality of life and may be a little less expensive. Would like thoughts from you all.

Guys that Spike with High T and Androgen101
As mentioned above, SHBG binds to
testosterone
. Sometimes high
testosterone
levels are not caused by an increase in
testosterone
production, but decreased levels of SHBG (2,9). interesting I wonder if this good could be a reason why some guys Spike on T when introduced to a new therapy????

Light headed, pins and needles, headaches
In addition I take HRT - oestrogen (topical), progesterone and
testosterone
. I am under a ‘menopause specialist’ for those meds. GP ran my annual thyroid bloods. I requested the additional ones.

Breast Tenderness post Eligard
It's been a year since my last 3-month Eligard injection (following radical prostatectomy and salvage radiation) and my PSA level in late November has stayed undetectable while my
testosterone
level has risen to 13.2 nmol/L. Recently my breasts have become quite tender.

Estrogen Patch ADT
My personal experience was that during the 6 months I was on estrogen patches, my
testosterone
was undetectable for the most part, it did bounce up to the low 20s a couple of times but I was experimenting with the dose. When I got the dose tuned in my
testosterone
was undetectable.

Update - ADT with Zytiga Failure (Castration Resistant) after 6 Months (PSA 90.3); Firmagon still Working; PSMA PET Scan Ordered
Firmagon brought the
Testosterone
down to < 7 almost right away, but PSA went to 160. Zytiga and Prednisone were added in March and brought the PSA back down to 5. The PSA starting rising again about 2 months ago and is back up to 90.3 as of a blood test yesterday.

My experience with Orgovyx / Relugolix
My last pill was November 27, 6 weeks later my
Testosterone
has recovered to 643, and PSA is still a respectable 0.2. My insomnia and hand cramps are gone, but I still have some fatigue, and my sexual SE are still pretty bad.
