Testosterone “Supplements” After RT?

Lupron killed my body's ability to produce testosterone. After about 18 months post Lupron my testosterone score remained at about 15 and was not Rising so my urologist put me on androgel, a testosterone replacement. This caused my breasts to enlarge so I stopped the testosterone replacement and later learned to prevent my breasts from enlarging they should have been radiated before I started the testosterone replacement. Now I will live with a testosterone measurement of about 15 for the rest of my life and be fatigued and tired. Yet, the benefit is that I'm less likely to have a prostate cancer recurrence because of the low testosterone.

ClomiPhen Citrate is an anti estrogen that is frequently prescribed with Testorone therapy and likely would solve your breast enlargement issue,
Curiously, there have been observations that exposure to higher than natural doses of androgens can kill the sensitized castration-resistant prostate cancer cells.
