My update:
- Lead RO said it would be safe for me to take Testosterone supplements and referred to urologist.
- Started T Gel and daily 5mg Cialis about a month ago, along with some heavy duty blood testing and monitoring quarterly (additional to current 2 ROs doing PSA/T monitoring).
- Symptom changes: Strength/Energy: noticeable improvement; Hot Flashes; slightly fewer; ED; noticeable improvement; Belly Fat: lost 4 lbs.
- Planning to refocus on lipids and A1C, conditions prior to PCa, to get those lowered.

Best wishes!!!

I'm 2.5 months in and it isn't as horrible as I thought it would be. Gained some quick weight over the past 2 weeks that needs addressing. Appetite went bonkers. Dinging my short memory. No hot flashes (yet) and mountain bike riding our local trails 5-6 times a week. I've heard exercise is very helpful. Best wishes on your journey.
