[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Testosterone Injections for the win. [/quote]

Not a winning idea. Testosterone feeds some kinds of prostate cancer.  Many men have treatment to reduce whatever testosterone they still have to suppress the cancer.[/quote]

Yes this is correct.

It may not be done in every case (and OP indicated DH is “fine” - meaning in remission or cancer free?).

But it’s not uncommon for prostate cancer to prescribe T-blockers as it’s believed to promote prostate cancer growth.

OP - were these prescribed as part of his post-op therapy?[/quote]

You all need to do some research before repeating the same outdated dogma that’s based on theory and not reality.

See below for evidence that it doesn’t increase the risk of developing it:

“According to the results of a recent study, testosterone treatment does not increase a man’s risk of developing prostate cancer. In fact, new research suggests that this treatment may actually reduce the risk of aggressive prostate cancer.”

See below for a recent study (2015) showing that it also doesn’t aggravate existing prostate cancer:

“There is significant evidence that androgens promote prostate cancer in experimental systems. However, there is no clear evidence that elevations in endogenous testosterone levels promote the development of prostate cancer in humans. As a result of experimental and historical data on the progression of prostate cancer following TRT, there has been widespread belief that TRT will promote disease progression in prostate cancer patients. Despite these fears, there are a growing number of studies demonstrating no increase in prostate cancer incidence among men on TRT. Furthermore, in studies involving a small number of patients, there has been no discernable increase in disease progression in prostate cancer patients on TRT. While data from large, prospective, randomized, controlled trials are absent, TRT in select prostate cancer patients is likely safe”

Look, do what you want, but please don’t act like your word is the gospel when there is ample contradictory evidence. [/quote]
