TSH and SHBG
I feel fine, not over medicated, liver and other tests all fine, just want to try
testosterone
as my levels are low and I’m hitting a brick wall with the docs. Any help appreciated.

Treatment Decision
Do I understand correctly that Bicalutamide prevents prostate cancer cells access to
testosterone
, but it may increase
testosterone
. Since cancer cells are deprived of
testosterone
(castrate sensitive cells), does this imply PSA may go down on Bicalutamide? [u] [/u]

Does Prostate Cancer-produced Testosterone (T) Show Up In Normal T, Test?
I have been on Lupron, Erleada & Xgeva for 3 months. T has dropped from 331 to 42, 43 & 39, respectively. First 3 taken @ 2pm & last @ 8am, in the day. PSA has continued to drop from 7.3, 0.7, 0.3 & now 0.2, respectively. It seems that the T should be dropping more? Is it reflecting the T made by the

ED and Grief
About 8 years ago found I had very low
testosterone
, the AF treated it and it helped well; the VA has been a pain with giving the Rx and halved my dose (4 pumps to 2). I also have an Rx for Viagra. My wife has sexual trauma and abuse in her past.

Quality of Life vs. Extending Survival
For me, one month of the fullness and capacity and joy I experience on my BAT with high
testosterone
is probably worth more than three month of frailty at the end, at some unknown time in the future. And perhaps that is exactly the sort of trade off I have chosen.

I'm 84 and diagnosed with PC 5 months ago. I was told I had High Risk Localized PC with a Gleason score of 8.
I have not consented yet because I was told at the outset that they favored Firmagon because Lupron caused a short-term rise in
testosterone
. My concern is that Lupron might cause a flare up even though I taken 4 months of Firmagon injections.

Are we doing enough?
But she said his
testosterone
level was not where she wanted it to be and she switched his hormone injection to Lupron. Today he went to get his injection, weirdly its not been a full 3 months yet, but even so they did his PSA reading and it's jumped back up to 12.98.

Decreased penis sensitivity on glans and corona
There is a lot of fall in sensitivity around the penis corona, glans and neck area, I am wondering it might be due to anything like fall of
testosterone
levels? age related (as I am getting into 30's)? maybe due to circumcision (circumcised when 6)? or anything else? food? stress?

Cellular and Genetic Clues that Drive BAT effectiveness
Note that this study, like most other BAT trials, used the original 28 day cycles of 400 mg IM

Low libido following brachytherapy
Testosterone
level was low normal 6 months ago. Getting checked again this week. Brachytherapy was 3 years ago, libido steadily declining since then although was fine immediately after therapy. I am older (68), but drop in libido was relatively sudden and worsening.

What do you make of this?
My understanding is that Lupron supresses
testosterone
. Which it did ... completely. His PSA is still <.02, but he now has a 'musty' order in his genitals that he says is
testosterone
. He now also has body odor in his armpits. Can
testosterone
return without any elevation in PSA?

Good News-But Do I Belong Here?
Since I've had full return of
testosterone
(over 700) for 16 months now I am of course happy so far. Early docetaxel probably didn't help any (as has been shown by now in STAMPEDE) but the hope is that the rest of it was worth it.
