Hi everyone
Well it be awhile sense posting anything,its been all most 6 month sense I had my prostate removed and everything is all good.My last visit to the doctor I noticed a poster on the wall
describing low testosterone levels and all the questions pointed to me.I told the doctor and he suggested I get my testosterone checked.and the results said I was at half what they should be.My doctor talked to me about testosterone therapy and I was wondering if anyone on here has had testosterone therapy and is there anything to worry about sense prostate cancer feeds off of testosterone.I may not have that just right.

    TRT and Hypogonadism

    I recall your comment on “night sweats” (http://csn.cancer.org/node/228379) that could be a effect of low testosterone.
    TRT and Hypogonadism is controversial and much discussed in this forum. Revisit past posts and you may find an answer. Gleason scores of 8 and 9 are not recommended for TRT. Yours is Gs7.

    Here is a link to Dr. Myers video on the subject “…after surgery testosterone on normal levels shouldn’t be a problem…”;

    Just follow his other videos and you will get many hints on the matter.

    Good Luck.
