@ecurb I suspect that if I asked you what you base your opinion on, you would have nothing. If you do, please post it up.

Meanwhile, here is what I found. A Copy Paste from this piece of medical research. A National Institutes of Health
Report. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4391003/

“However, no published analysis has reported measurable increases in prostate cancer risk or Gleason score in men undergoing TRT, or in hypogonadal men with a history of prostate cancer undergoing TRT[26,27,43]. Despite this, Calof et al[26] estimated that an evaluation of 85862 participants is necessary to detect a hypothetical 20% increase in prostate cancer resulting from TRT. The largest meta-analysis evaluating prostate cancer risk associated with TRT included only 1700 men (i.e., < 2% of the necessary population size)[43].”

And I will ask you, Why do you think I would be at greater risk of cancer reoccurrence because I use an injected testosterone than another man that produces testosterone via his testes?

@oldgreenpaint look up FIRMAGON on the Internet. See what it says about TRT, post Firmagon usage. May the force be with you.
