I am well aware how Lupron works it chemically castrates you. I would rather die a slow death then take Lupron again. Testosterone is an important part of your biochemistry and there are consequences to suppressing it .
The concept of castrating you to save you from prostate cancer was brought to us by Dr. Huggins in the early 1950 and he got a Nobel prize for .
Thus, the misconception was born that testosterone was the cause and/or accelerant of all prostate cancers.
Did you know that most people that develop prostate cancer had low T. Interesting that castration resistant prostate cancer is killed by high doses of testosterone.
I have spent dozens of hours reading and watching seminars on testosterone cancer and found that my doctors knew very little about the subject.
Certainly if the Cancer has moved beyond the prostate, you are high risk or the cancer is active and untreated you should not take testosterone.
TRT has brought back a quality of life that was taken away from me on Lupron.
Just because your doctor tells you something does not make it right.
