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!!!

In reference to seasuite:
If you are on this Mayo Clinic chat, I assume you have prostate cancer. Typically, you would be highly advised to avoid testosterone boosting drugs at ALL cost. Testosterone is the primary food source for prostate cancer. You will note, most of the drugs taken for various stages of this disease are to eliminate as much testosterone as possible, including the need for a radical orchiectomy. My urologist had me on Androgel while my PSA was rising several years ago. It was like splashing gasoline on a smoldering fire. That fire became an inferno, which I'm now still dealing with today with a specialized cancer oncologist. Get another medical opinion.
