Questioning a Thyroid issue
I have put these symptoms down to insufficient free
Testosterone
, on account of my high SHBG. However, when discussing my SHBG with a lady in a hormone support group, she questioned my Thyroid. I have had Thyroid checked a few times over the last years, and they have been within range.

Help with bloods
I have an appointment today with my doctor to look at changing my HRT from Evrol Conti 50 and
testosterone
. I have started having bleeds (mostly dark/blood clots). They have done a scan and i've had a biopsy which is ok so they want to change my HRT.

ART ADT n Life Without Testosterone for Prostate Cancer Patients
For me, even after having hired a ‘sexual health’ specialist, I was not counseled on what long term ADT and lack of TET (
testosterone
) would do to my sexual function.

Penis Enlargement After Atrophy
Just had my first erection in 4 years after 4th injection of
testosterone
. Very disappointed in the decrease in size as I am literally 1/2 the man I used to be (lol).

Private endo strongly suspects I have PCOS
My
testosterone
is normal (1.3, 1.7 is top of range). My oestrogen is 521 and my progesterone is low at 15 (day 21 of 27-day cycle).

Was Chemo "Successful"?
Also my
testosterone
is virtually undetectable due to castration. So it looks like the rise is due at least in part to castrate resistant PC cells.

Has anyone tried testosterone ?
I read somewhere that
testosterone
was helpful in dealing with the disease. Has anyone tried this? I am a woman and I remember
testosterone
was helpful during menopause. I just rubbed it on my belly. I'm now 74 and wondering if I should use it to relieve symptoms of Fibro.

pBAT update after two cycles.
I started BAT using
testosterone
propianate which requires injections every other day during high T cycle. The beauty of that is fast clearing and slamming the jail cell shut on the beast with darolutamide. My recent PSA came in as 0,05 which is almost at end on my 2nd darolutamide cycle.

I fired my oncologist
I'm wondering about adding Arimidex and/or Finasteride to suppress E2 and DHT since there are some theories that they, not
testosterone
, are what fuels PCa.

PSA Test less than four weeks post surgery
He ordered PSA test,
testosterone
test, and PSMA PET scan. I have received PSA back this morning. PSA is 36.5. Urologist previously said he would wait for PSA because too close to surgery would be unreliable due to effects of surgery.

Testosterone post ADT
My t level is coming back very slowly following salvage radiation + 6 months ADT. I’m 60 years old and after nearly 18 months still have difficulty gaining muscle mass and losing this gut. The good news is my PSA is still undetectable. Any suggestions?

Update on my Estradiol experiment
Today was 6 weeks and I had Estradiol and
Testosterone
blood tests. Estradiol was <24 and
Testosterone
was 16, where it has been since I began Orgovyx in late 2021. As of June 5, I continue to experience some nipple tenderness which began after the second week on the patch.

Darolutimide as monotherapy
Since it doesn't actually stop
testosterone
production but instead just acts as an androgen receptor blocker in cancer cells, perhaps it would have fewer side effects and still act to put to sleep/kill the cancer cells the way traditional ADT does.

Need help in understanding PSA level recurrence after treatment.
I had a blood test taken last Friday and it shows that
testosterone
has begun to come back and along with it my PSA rose to 0.09. My initial thought was fear and mostly sadness that I would have to go back to ADT so rapidly before I could even fully recover from previously having been on it.
