@climateguy Thank you again, and yes, understood on all scores. Continued best wishes to you, and please know that like all others, you are appreciated here.👍

Before I get into the Estradiol Inititative (tE2-I), and the great folks involved there, I think its important to note that regardless of source, much of what one may hear, read or learn, regarding disease urgency and treatment approaches, or likely survivability, is of mixed relevance, depending upon one's own case specifics. That's rather self-evident.

For example, if I consult with eight different physicians, researchers and "specialists" in any given field of medicine, I'll likely get ten to twelve different opinions . . . either my situation is serious and urgent, or its not . . . I should be on this ADT, that ADT, or both . . . I should take this med or that, and I should plan on taking it for months, years, or for-life, etc., etc. My point being, no matter who we consult, or how many opinions we obtain, in the end, we and our decisions, stand alone. All we can hope for, is "guidance".

Now, that said, I have indeed communicated with Richard Wassersug (of the tE2-I), on multiple occasions. He has been consistently and incredibly giving and sharing of both his time and expertise, each and every time. And yes, he (himself) has been on transdermal estradiol (tE2) for decades, switching from patches to gel, once he firmly determined the proper dosage needed to keep his testosterone level at bay, which is precisely the approach that everyone should take.

However, as you have aptly indicated here, given the increased popularity of tE2-ADT as a treatment modality, he and the folks at the tE2-I, are very likely to be overwhelmed with recent inquiries. Further, while he is a perfectly gracious guy, who is happy to share his personal experience and professional "opinions", he himself will readily admit that he is not a licensed physician, and therefore, he cannot (strictly speaking), recommend the usage or dosage of any specific medication.
