What I know is ...it is a form of treatment that shocks cancer cells by dramatically changing and disrupting the environment they try to survive. Perhaps someone on here has more information - or has been on that protocol.
Based on personal experience I will say androgen therapy can impact you in many ways - be sure to ask your MD what you might expect. For me it was significant and rapid weight gain, emotional outbursts (tears) and hot flashes etc. Best of luck ... just ask lots of questions and speak up vs remaining silent if you experience some challenges. Best of luck ... Dennis(ProstateCancer.net TEAM)
