Low testosterone - yikes
Killing cancer by killing testosterone
75 yr old completed hormone (killed testosterone that fed cancer) and 46 days of radiation- clinically successful-
PSA is under 1% but testosterone is at 5 (should be in 200+). Forget sex, my quality of life sucks - low testosterone side effects of loss of muscle mass - impacting my legs has put me on a walker- plus the depression, lack of energy, inability to focus, etc.
The solution is exercise
Doc says the only remedy is exercise due to a history of stroke and heart valve- not a candidate for hormone supplement for 2 years (American model - or one year per European model?). Wish someone would have reviewed this prior to my decision. Got buddies living active lives w/ prostate cancer.
