What if he has high cholesterol before started hormone therapy?

Throughout my time on ADT, 18 months on Lupron and 12 months of Orgovyx, I was on statins:
40 mg Atorvastatin
10 mg Ezetimibe
Those in combination with diet and exercise, nothing extreme, kept my cholesterol where my medical team was happy.
Latest results:
Total 171
Triglycerides 32
HDL 94
LDL 70
VLDL 6.4
Non HDL 77
I have seen in this and other forums about statins and their role in PCa, discussion tends towards the positive but not sure sufficient evidence to say definitely.
Discuss with his medical team.

Good to know! I guess if you’re on a statin the concern isn’t much as it’s already being managed. We have an appointment soon so I’m sure he’ll be on a statin then since it’s a bit high. Thanks!
