Testosterone side effects ( TRT )

Hi Chip5 

I'm sorry that your post has not yet had any replies. I hope you don't mind me replying as I have had a different type of cancer. By responding this will place your post back at the top where it may be seen by more members of the group.

I will link some information for you to look at in the meantime until you get more replies and personal experiences.

Thank you sistermoon, I did wonder why there has been no replies, I guess no one is taking testosterone replacement, or not wanting to share their story.

Thank you for your support, very kind of you.

Hi

I was told it is unlikely you will need trt after the op to lose one.   I didn't have levels checked before but the surgeon suggested the tumour would have affected my levels anyway pre op.

My levels after are deemed ok, albeit in my head I had convinced myself they were off!!   I am older than most folks with TC so I would be lower anyway 

Only a few thoughts but hope it gives you some insight
