During my cancer treatment taking Lupron I got to the point that I could barely walk into the hospital. After a month of barely being able to walk went to the doctor, had a Brain MRI and was diagnosed as abnormal gait. Spent ten sessions at physical therapy with no improvement.
Reading online I found that low testosterone.
My cancer was confined to the prostate and started testosterone therapy. The day after my first shot the issue just completely went away. Since taking testosterone I started doing a PSA test every two months and so far so good.
Testosterone is an important part of male bio chemistry and there are negative consequences to suppressing it. I think it is important to balance my quality of life and the risk of TRT

I also went on The Carnivore diet and went from 245 to 185 in six months. Honestly it was easy I could pretty much eat whatever I want as long as it is meat, fish, eggs and cheese
I started lifting weights and at 67 I am healthier than when I was 50

Leuprolide works by reducing the amount of testosterone that the body makes. This helps slow or stop the growth of cancer cells.
So I am curious to understand
How to start testosterone therapy and kept your PSA normal can you elaborate on this and this was your dr recommendations?
Thanks
